Did they think she was a grape?

This story was open in one of my tabs just now, and I scrolled down to see if I could remember why I opened it. I couldn't. I guess I must have clicked a link by mistake.

But one sentence in the third to last paragraph caught my eye, and will probably give me nightmares:

Three people were arrested and an elderly lady trampled by police.

(Australia just got crossed off my list of possible places to retire in.)

"Trampled"? Good, Lord, that's terrible, even if she just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Yep unless the gov here changes, cross Oz off. And if the NZ gov does change, cross NZ off too... [sigh]
