A chilling scene surprised residents of the Forest this Sunday morning. Avenue Oscar Van Goidtsnoven, a few steps from Altitude 100, they discover a dozen bloodstains on the ground on which Monopoly tickets are scattered. No counterfeit scam or worthy story paper house. It is indeed a real game of Monopoly which is at the origin of the drama.
This Sunday, April 2, a group of four people – a man and three women – played the famous board game on the public highway. The game and especially the schedule and its place visibly annoyed a local resident. The inhabitant comes out of his house, stick in hand, and a verbal altercation ensues between him and the players. The resident’s son then decides to intervene. He also leaves the house in his turn, armed with a saber in its holster. “The player tried to grab the katana and removed the holster. The son tried to get it back,” explains the Midi police zone to us.
The two men came to blows and the katana, taken out of its sheath, caused serious injuries to the two individuals. Both were transferred to hospital. The player has already been able to get out of it but the days of the son are still in danger.
The son and the player were arrested. After hearing, the player was released.
In conclusion, what started as an innocent game of Monopoly on a public street turned into a horrific scene of violence. The use of weapons in a dispute over a board game is nothing short of disturbing. It serves as a reminder that conflicts can arise unexpectedly and escalate quickly. Hopefully, this incident will prompt people to think twice before engaging in reckless behavior that can endanger themselves and others. Let’s all remember that violence is never the answer, no matter how trivial the situation may seem.
