Earlier tonight I went to the local village shopping centre to pick up a takeaway and walked into the middle of a disturbance.
This very disgruntled guy was standing outside the shop abusing the shop keeper about barking dogs and people who own them...keep them out of ya f.....g shop...I'm homeless and I hate barking dogs and noisy people..I've got hearing problems....was putting on a nasty turn...was reasonably dressed but clearly disturbed.
An attractive woman carrying a toy poodle on her shoulder had just left the shop so I assume it was her dog he complained about....although when I arrived it wasn't making a sound.She got in her car and wasn't threatened although she did look back to make sure he didn't follow her.
Settle down mate....I said
I'll settle you down .....he said in an aggressive tone.............with that he lunged towards me but I managed to avoid him and using my knowledge of self defence I adopted an attack position and prepared to unleash a right cross and a swift kick to his shins before putting a headlock on him and calling the police with my free hand.
When he calmed down I decided to let him go...hope I did the right thing.
