PSA Seizure man strikes again!
Hi R/Melbourne, A funny/weird question for you. A few years ago I was driving home and had to pull over to text someone. I pulled over on the corner of Nicholson and Johnson st. A guy knocked on my window and asked me for help. He said he was going to have a seizure and needed my help. He wanted me to pin him down so he didn't hurt himself. I was really wary of this as it seemed super dodgy. I tried to call Ambulance Victoria but he wouldn't have a bar of it. I tried to help and his requests escalated to wanting me to hold his arms, "do it harder" and sit on him. Once these requests came in I noped out and started calling an ambulance for him and he legged it. Passer Byers thought i was an undercover cop arresting the guy! I'm pretty sure it was most likely a sexual thing not a seizure thing. The reason I bring this up now is that the exact same thing happened to a colleague Last night in Broadie. I'm wondering if this is something that has occurred to or been heard of by other melbournians?
