Something pretty shocking happened just now.

Was at Northpoint with Muthu, Val and Jolene because we'd gone to SAFRA to bring the riflers' suits over for storage in the lockers, and we all had to take buses from the interchange at Northpoint. We'd dropped at the bus stop next the the mall and were walking towards the interchange when suddenly this man came running straight past with blood running down his face, trying to get away from two other people who were behind him. Come to think of it they could've been trying to get away together, but it seemed like the two behind were chasing the guy in front.

Anyway, one of the men chasing the guy in front was carrying this crowbar thing that was being held in a plastic bag. A weapon, no doubt. At the bus stop area, the guy in front dashed to the right and ran off while for some reason the other two disappeared to the left. Obviously we were all left stunned there for a bit. You don't ever get to see this happen much, if at all, and it was definitely rather shocking. There were drops of blood in a short trail leading from the snack kiosk in the interchange where the thing had apparently started onwards. Pretty freaky, no? After a really short while the police and ambulance service came and that was pretty much end of it.

I'm falling asleep at the computer now, so I think I'll just end here.
