“It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me.”
And McDonald responded:
“Who was that?”
After this, he claims he instantly went to the police station in The Rocks to report the alleged incident. He says he didn’t require any medical consideration and doesn’t imagine his accidents might be long-lasting, however did add that his “chops” are “very sore” the place he was allegedly struck.
