A Viewer Writes... Attempted Mugging In Salisbury During Daylight Hours

My son and I were coming back from the district court in Salisbury when we were attacked by a heroin addict with a knife. I fought him off because my younger son was with me and then the cops showed up and had him at gun point. It was around 2:30 pm today . 
I was wondering if you had gotten any video or heard anything about it. We are all still pretty shaken up about the incident would you have any more info on that? There were a lot of cell cameras there, someone had to get a video.

Publishers Notes: Did anyone hear about this? Clearly it's NOT SAFE to walk the streets of Downtown Salisbury during daylight hours any more. We have confirmed this did in fact happen Anyone with a video, please send it to alberobutzo@wmconnect.com.

There is plenty to indict barbara on, fraud, corruption, you name it. This will be recoded as two seperate crimes, an assault and a theft so they don't have to put another robbery in their part I crimes. That's why babs wants to lower shoplifting, because she is coding robberies as simple theft and it's easier to lower shoplifting by shaming people so she has room to work the robberies in as theft. Paper trail babs, paper trail.

Gee. Lemme guess. The police showed up and had him at gun point. Hmmm. Yeah, I'm pretty sure there is a police report.

Streets will be safe when you grow up and protect yourself. The police can not be there for you when a thug is going to kill you.

Butt, Butt Butt crime is down in Salisbury. Ask Matt Maciarello, Jim Ireton and Jake Day. That didn't happen down town. Can't believe Matt is falling for that crap. I guess it makes his office look great.

I'm sorry but NOT SAFE to walk the streets downtown??? I feel like that may be a slight overstatement. I have lived here for 30 years and have walked all over town in the day and in the night and have never had a problem. Is there crime here? Yes. Is there crime in every other town in America? yes. It has nothing to do with the attempts here in Salisbury to curb it. It is because human beings are 96% douchebags.

Child Advocacy Detectives aprehended the guy. He did have a knife. I think the guy was crazy,he was lucky the cops did not shoot him. Wrong place to do a robbery. Cops there in seconds

You all are so dumb. And for the person to say a heroin addict. Maybe it was just a homeless man. Or maybe he was a drunk. How do you know he is on heroin. Maybe it's meth or crack. Either way the mayor is not the cause of the problems. The cause of the problem starts at the home. When you are able to raise your child right and disapline them then you wouldn't have hudlems on the street.

This was in the news. The white guy with the tattoo over his eyebrow and a bull nose ring. I like how people always defend the poor drug addicted addict because they can't stop walking down the path they chose in life and not the victims who are constantly in danger of a skin scratching dirty addict!
