He said, “I heard someone shout, ‘Stop, stop, stop!’
“I guess someone was knocked down, but it all happened so fast.
“People came running very fast and I didn’t want to see what happened. There were enough people there with their phones calling for help.
“I did not want to see anything terrible. There were many people caring at the scene.
