Mid-August 2008, 1 pm
I went out for an afternoon walk, and as I was waiting to cross the street in front of 77 Mass Ave I could hear a man shouting something in the distance, but couldn't make out what he was yelling. This isn't entirely unusual on Mass Ave, so I didn't think too much about it. A few seconds later, a man ran by at top speed, running with dog along side him. Again, a little weird, but nothing too out of the ordinary. A few seconds behind him comes another man running at top speed, looking upset and shouting at the first man to STOP STOP. I thought it looked like the first guy had stolen something from the second guy, but it really wasn't clear. The light still hadn't changed, so as he ran by everyone waiting to cross was asking each other the same thing I was thinking - did he just mug him?
Everyone seemed to think so, but it was all a little strange. The first running man did seem to have something in his hands, but if you're planning on robbing someone, why would you bring your dog along? The second man was yelling at him to stop, but never yelled anything about being robbed or asked for help from everyone on the sidewalk. Maybe it was all just a joke.
