Rob was walking and got punched

[ailbhe]

Rob, mine other half, was walking down the road in sunny Reading. Someone walked past him. As they passed, they stretched out their arm and punched him open-handed in the side of the head. And kept on walking.

He's not hurt, though he may develop a bruise. But we're shocked.

I don't suppose there's any way that could have been an accident? A case of mistaken identity? Something?

We have no way of knowing - it was a walk-by punching. Possible motives are: mistaken identity, and objection to people in black leather coats and hats, or doolalliness. And some others I haven't thought of. It's weird that the puncher didn't stop, speak, grunt or yell.
