  1. About two years ago I saw two men walking in an alley behind Central near Copper. One was carrying a machete and swinging it, and he yelled at a man who was working on his car in a parking lot next to the alley, saying “I’m going to kill you!”
    I called 911. Silly me. The dispatcher seemed disinterested when I did not mention blood or an ongoing physical attack. The next year a man attacked several people with a machete and was finally caught by APD. He had ridden his bicycle to a few places on the street where he stopped to make his attacks.
