Very tame as far as the violence scales goes, but several minutes ago I was witness to an attack on a young couple walking up Park Street in Bristol.

Completely unprovoked, a young lady was punched and thrown to the floor along with her partner by a gang of four burly men. Whilst I was extremely close to the situation, there wasn't anything I could do but attend to them.

Both drunk themselves, I was told to "leave us alone" amongst sobs of tears. "I just want to leave this ******* country" the lady cried.

I found this incredibly unsettling, despite both victims being relatively uninjured. I have never encountered any sort of violence myself (I am the type which avoids trouble before it starts), but I can't help but think what would it be like if it were me and lady friend :(

Meep.
