I think I saw someone suffering from psychosis today in the mall.
He kept walking around all over the place, sometimes running and saying, "Oh God, no, no, please don't hurt me!" He said this really loudly. It sounded like he was in an argument with someone but no one else was there. I didn't realize that he scared me until I found a wet palm print on the counter from where my hand was.
My question is...should I be scared? Is there reason to be afraid? How likely is such a person to be violent? He looked like he was in great fear and distress...like someone was running after him trying to kill him or something.
He did that for a few minutes. I kept expecting security to come handle the situation, but he went down the escalator before I could find out what happened. I think security handled things downstairs.
