I had been out with some friends in the bars downtown but I felt tired so left early to get a cab. Around 11pm I was waiting in line to get a taxi home. Two men started arguing, the argument became quite heated. The larger of the two men then did something quite shocking and unthinkable to the other man, right there in front of everyone waiting in line. 

I was appalled and also fearful for my own safety so I called the police. Everyone else just stood around watching, some filming and others even making jokes. The only reaction was from both men's girlfriends who began grappling and pulling each others hair. 

I was pretty shaken up by what I had witnessed but when I told my friend (via messenger) what had happened she gave some platitude of shock but generally seemed unperturbed. Perhaps I am just overly sensitive but it really left me distressed.
