A quiet neighbourhood shaken

Coverage
The moment the chainsaw appeared

According to the sole source covering the event, a woman who was among two individuals cutting wood by the roadside turned a chainsaw toward a 76‑year‑old man who was simply walking past. The woman "frightened" the elderly man with the tool, a verb that conveys a sudden, threatening presence rather than a physical strike. The man’s age is explicitly given as 76 years old, underscoring his vulnerability in a situation that could provoke a strong fear response.

Flight, fall and panic

Reacting to the perceived danger, the man attempted to flee from the woman. While running away he "fell to the ground in panic." This sequence — fear prompting flight, followed by a loss of balance — is presented without elaboration on the exact terrain or any intervening obstacles. The emphasis is on the causal link: the woman’s action with the chainsaw triggered the man’s desperate attempt to escape, which ended in a fall.
