My experience goes back to San Juan Puerto Rico many years ago. I was the duty driver and had just dropped a bunch of guys off at an institution of ill repute in old town. as I'm leaving some guy came along and reached in a partially open window to grab me. I grabbed the hand to keep it out of my face and eyes and floored it. I was driving a mighty Dodge K car wagon. this guy keeps running along trying to still get my face and I'm doing 25 or 30 and start easing towards the old cast iron light standards. He finally jerks his hand away just in time to step away and into the light standard. Never stopped, considering the part of town, returned to the ship reported the incident to the OOD who sent me to replace one of the engineering watch standers...I was never so happy to spend a couple of hours cleaning a Lube oil purifier.
