SIKH'S STRANGE BEHAVIOUR
AUCKLAND DOMAIN SCENE. j By Telegraph.—Press Association. i Auckland, Thursday, j The police received information yesterday morning that a coloured man was wandering about the Domain and ' behaving in a very eccentric manner.; Three constables searched the Domain j and surroundings for a couple of hours, and at last Constable Kennedy noticed the man lecturing to himself in one of; the gullies in the vicinity. The man ran away when he noticed the constables, j and, on being overtaken, he turned upon his pursuers with a stout stick, and flourished it viciously, one of the constables having a narrow escape of being felled to the ground. The constables rushed at the man, and, after a prolonged struggle, succeeded in handcuffing him, and conveyin'g him to the police station. He is a Sikh by birth. Whenj arrested he was barefooted, and his clothes were very ragged, but upon a search being made, the sum of £3 3s 2d was found upon him; also a Savings Bank book with £ll to Ms credit. He was brought before the Court yesterday and remanded to the mental hospital for observation.
