The Attack At this point, ROBERTS was late for his date, so he took a shortcut down an alley. He looked around, his eyesight affected by leaving his glasses at the darts club, and saw a man running towards him with a flash of silver in his hand. Fearing being mugged with a knife, ROBERTS picked up a broken bottle from the ground and slashed it at the runner's neck.
