On Aug 15, at a coffee shop in Roxy Square, an elderly man totters past a girl at one of the tables and pats her on the head. The woman sitting across from the girl pushes his hand away.
A younger man, who had earlier left the table, notices this and turns back. He confronts the elderly man, before shoving him to the ground.
