The girl was the victims girlfriend. I heard her say "my boyfriend is bleeding" on the phone to the police in the background.
Thats pretty f***ing pathetic I must say. The guy probably shouldnt have gotten involved, and just let his chick call the cops. Best way to avoid such a situation. Now if the prick with the skateboard were to threaten or make a hostile action first, then its on.
Of course maybe trying to avoid the situation entirely is just me. Reason being that I have a very, very, very bad temper for a somewhat small guy, and a reputation for surprising a lot of people. If he hit me with that skateboard, he better make DAMN sure I didnt get back up. I probably would have been the one in jail in the end, for making him open wide and bite the curb. His onlooker buddies in the background going "OHHH" would have their faces rubbed in the pool of blood.
I'm sorry, but guys like that need their skulls fractured. People who walk around and act tough and cool really arent that tough. Aside from that, size doesnt mean squat.
