Druggies on the trains // at 23:59
< Near normalcy | MAIN | Melbourne trains >
Fun and games on the train this morning. A bunch of strung-out looking druggies were smashing the doors and each other, swearing and smoking, fighting either amongst themselves or with someone they didn't like. Just as I was getting off at Huntingdale, one of them decided to start hassling other passengers, asking for money and threatening to stab people. A long and fruitfull conversation with the police ensued, a call back later confirming that at least one of them is in custody for a later attempted robbery.
Big joke: Reading the newspaper this evening, there was a quarter page advertisment telling people to catch use public transport as a relaxing way to get to work.
