The road is narrow, windy, and steep, which makes it difficult to overtake. The victim tooted their horn at the suspect, as they were walking in the middle of the road, with their headphones in, the horn was tooted to warn the suspect of the vehicle’s presence behind them. The suspect turned around and said “You don’t know who I am or what I have in my pocket”, and begun swearing.
The victim drove past the suspect, the suspect then caught up with them, indicating gun fingers from his pocket, and said “You’re lucky I don’t smash your window, as you have a kid in the back”. The suspect spat on the car bonnet, crossed the road, and walked off, still swearing. |
