The entire incident unfolded in a flash of lightning.
Everyone was stunned by this horrifying scene, rendered speechless.
"What's going on? Who called the police?!"
"Step aside, step aside! Police are here—make way, all of you!"
Just then, several stern shouts emanated from behind the crowd.
Several uniformed police officers who had received the report squeezed through the throng of people.
"Police officer... Police officer, save me! There's been violence here, and my friends have been injured by her!"
Hannah Ford, sitting on the ground, saw the police as if they were her saviors.
She trembled and flung herself onto the police officer's leg, clutching it tightly. The public servants she normally looked down upon had become her lifeline of protection.
The policemen, seeing the four bodyguards lying on the ground, and then the woman with a swollen and contorted face being pressed to the ground by two burly men, immediately sensed the gravity of the situation.
