The Forest neighborhood had a shocking incident on Sunday morning whereby residents discovered a dozen bloodstains on the ground with scattered Monopoly tickets on Oscar Van Goidtsnoven Avenue, just a few steps from Altitude 100. Contrary to most assumptions, there was no fraudulent activity or paper hoaxes, but a true Monopoly game that turned into a violent altercation.
According to reports, on April 2, a group of four people, including a man and three women, were playing Monopoly on a public highway. Unfortunately, their playing schedule and location disturbed a local resident who came out of his house with a stick in his hand. A verbal altercation broke out between him and the players, prompting the resident’s son to intervene. The son emerged out of the house, wielding a katana in its holster.
The situation escalated when the two men came to blows, and the son’s katana caused grave injuries to both individuals. They were both transported to the hospital, although the player has since been discharged, whereas the son is still in critical condition.
The player and the son have been taken into custody, and subsequent to the hearing, the player was released.
