David was cycling along the West Coast Park when he saw
two teenagers being attacked by several teen thugs armed
with bottles, knives and barbecue skewers. The thugs
fled when David shouted, "Police! Police!" David rushed
to help the teenagers, one of whom was badly injured.
Her head was bleeding profusely. There appeared to be a
big gash on her forehead. The other seemed dazed and
confused. David cycled quickly to the telephone booth to
call an ambulance. On the way, he met a couple taking
their evening walk and told them to stay with the
victims while he made the call. Nothing further would have happened if this good
Samaritan had not pursued the matter. However, David
felt that justice had to be done and decided to take the
matter to task. After the ambulance had left with the
victims, he combed the area for the teen thugs. He saw
them eating and laughing at a coffee kiosk. He
approached them. One of the thugs saw him and alerted
the others. Suddenly, the whole gang fell upon him.
David ran as he had never run before. The thugs closed
in on him. He tried to jump across a drain but fell into
it instead. When he crawled out of the drain, the
gangsters had vanished. David was badly bruised.
A group of policemen who were looking for the gangsters,
found David. He was pale and in pain. The police praised
him for being a good Samaritan but admonished him for
trying to do their job by himself.
The gangsters were eventually caught and David learnt
his lesson. |
