According to reports, a 64-year-old man was waiting for the bus when a 66-year-old man passed by. The pavement is narrow at that point and he collided with the younger man. A fierce argument broke out between the two of them and the younger man hit the older one on the head. The older man lost his balance and fell to the ground. In a panic, he took out a stainless steel spoon from his rucksack and attacked the younger man with it. In the melee the younger man’s eyeball was prised from the eye socket.
