A true story, reported by Andreas Jélvefors i Metro, Swedish national edition, April 10, 2006.
After late one evening returning to his home in a Malmö apartment building, the blind man rang the doorbell of his next door neighbour to enquire about the time. The neighbour, a deaf man, at first did not understand the question. His blind neighbour soon started talking in gestures which then caused the deaf man to hold up his watch in front of his neighbour.
Being blind did however make it impossible for the time lost man to perceive the watch being held in front of him, and frustrated by the long silence he ended up punching the deaf man. The incident ended with the two men, both in their sixties, pounding each other with their fists and falling to the floor where the bout continued.
The deaf man filed a complaint to the police with the assistance of his personal social worker.
