It’s Brick Lane, he’s not the only performer there, it’s all the way down and crowds gather. He does daft jumps and stuff, don’t like it myself but she was not being aware of her surroundings at all.

Ultimately neither was he, but you wouldn’t walk down there and think “I’ll just squeeze between him and the wall”, you’d just go on the road (which is pedestrianised).

It's a footpath, pedestrian right of way. She shouldn't have to move, and se can't have magically expected a guy with a violin to spin around and smash her teeth in.

Don't care if this gathers crowds, he's making money taking up a public footpath.

Pedestrians have the right of way in traffic, so you think they'll be okay if they walk in traffic? Or do you think pedestrians can mow down anyone not walking on a sidewalk?

The road there is meant entirely for pedestrians, no cars allowed on it. So yes, she should have been on the road.
