Anti social behaviour - by whom?

Sitting in the office idly talking, the manager and a member of staff having just left for the day. Suddenly, we hear the manager shouting, so another female member of staff legs it out. She's a rugby player, and very fit.

Wlaking down the hill, the manager and staff member saw two of our female residents being hosed down by a local member of the community. He lives near our building, and is not happy that we are here. He has suffered, like others in the area, antisocial behaviour from our guys, drinking, hanging around, empty cans and dog mess. Ironically, we have all worked hard to get on top of this problem, and it's been much much better for several weeks.

But he saw red when he saw the two women sitting on his doorstep eating, so turned his hose on them, and when they protested - probably not too politely - he went at them with a baseball bat. Allegedly. When the female staff member intervened, he hit her hard on the arm too, and the manager, who managed to wrestle the weapon off him.
There were witnesses, too, including the commissioner of drug and alcohol services, who called the police.

Feelings in our building were running high...several people threatening reprisals. but we squashed that straight away. It certainly wouldn't help. We need only positive things coming out of our building. The manager laid it on the line to the guys today in an emergency residents' meeting. If the asb continues, we could be closed down. It's that serious.

Now everyone's waiting to see how the crimnal justice system deals with the angry man.
