| TotalKontrol Removed Account | A HOODIE queuing to buy violent video game Grand Theft Auto IV STABBED a passer-by who taunted him. The victim, 23, was knifed four times with an eight-inch hunting blade. He’d made a rude remark to gamers outside the store just before the game’s midnight launch yesterday. Stunned witnesses thought it was a STUNT laid on by the developers of the 18-rated game – until cops arrived. Marcus Henderson, 24, said: “It was like a scene straight from the game itself.†Malcolm Critchell, 22 – one of 100 people queuing outside Gamestation in Croydon, South London – said: “The victim was covered in blood and had cuts all over him and a huge gash on his back. Advertisement "I thought he was promoting the game. Then the police turned up.†The lad later left hospital refusing to make a complaint. Meanwhile, muggers broke an 18-year-old’s jaw and nose as they stole his £40 copy of the game in Leyland, Lancs. GTA IV – featuring casual violence and drug dealing – sold out within hours of going on sale across the UK. SOURCE: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1106460.ece |
