In an unusual incident that unfolded along Leopold Takawira and Samaora Machel Avenue, a street child caused a scene at a local car dealership when he broke a glass at the premises. The young man, reportedly under the influence of drugs, claimed he had bought a car and wanted to take it with him.
Witnesses at the scene described the street child as acting erratically. He appeared disoriented and confused, leading many to believe that his actions were a result of his drug use. According to onlookers, the boy approached one of the vehicles on display, shouting that it was his car and demanding to leave with it.
When staff at the dealership attempted to calm him down, the situation escalated, culminating in the child smashing a glass window at the car sale premises.
While the motive behind his claim remains unclear, his erratic behavior and aggressive actions were alarming to those present.
Some bystanders suggested that he might have been suffering from hallucinations or delusions induced by his drug consumption. Others speculated that he might have been desperate or confused due to his difficult circumstances as a street child.
Efforts to reach the car dealership for a comment on the incident proved unsuccessful, as the staff were reportedly unwilling to speak on the matter. There has been no official police report filed at this time, leaving many questions surrounding the incident unanswered.
