That's scary. I may have to start using this stop in the near future to get to school, and at this time in the mornings too, so this is just scary to hear about. Hope the man assaulted is ok.
ReplyDeleteAvondaleLoganSquareCrimeBlotter, based on the 911 callers' description of this man and his behavior, he sounds like a drug user or someone with mental issues. Either way, you are right. This is very scary stuff.
