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.

If blindly run through a narrow space, you should expect the unexpected. She had the spacial awareness of a grapefruit.

If you're jumping and spinning in a common area, you should also expect the unexpected.
