British GTA IV Fans Witness Stabbing While Waiting In Line

April 29, 2008

StabbingA 23-year old man walking past a line of shoppers waiting to collect their copies of GTA IV outside of a Gamestation store in the London suburb of Croydon was stabbed multiple times on Monday night. Police found the victim near the store but missed their chance to catch the assailant.

The victim was later released from the hospital with the coppers looking for leads from the crowd of gamers waiting to commit far more heinous crimes on the virtual denizens of Liberty City. No reports of even tangentially related violent crime have cropped up on our side of the Atlantic. But UPS did bust a few dumbasses in their ranks who tried to yank copies of the game from shipping boxes.
