Similar experience only I got zero help. In the early ‘70s I’m in full uniform, wrestling a suspect in the middle of the street during evening rush hour. Commuters are on their way home, driving by & watching us but offering no help. Although the guy was bigger than me (I’m 6’2 & 200 lbs) he was drunk so I was able to get him cuffed eventually.
Yup . We called them “blasters “ in San Jose … very dangerous situation . When on PCP , they have beyond human strength and pain tolerance . Even with fractures and broken bones they’re almost unstoppable😮
This is what I call REAL Entertainment!... I love these stories, and Hell, I think I've even learned a thing or two!....

I’d love to spend a day on the streets with Uncle Scotty!
Give that bystander an E for effort anyway. LOL
