Dr Dupree is standing on the quay

The attack occured in front of about 20 people, none of whom stepped in to stop the assault.
Photo / Stephen Parker
It should be noted that photographer Stephen Parker was one of those who did not stop in to stop the assault; instead he took photographs of it. So, while clinical psychologist Barry Kirker might attribute the crowd's passivity to "bystander apathy'' - a phenomena [sic] which [sic] has been studied since the 1950s - the photographer might be accused of callous opportunism. On the other hand, every one enjoys a good fight.
