I Filmed Two Separate Crimes in Newcastle
A short and slightly surreal one. Out filming an ordinary day in Newcastle, I happened to catch two separate incidents on camera – the kind of thing you never expect to be recording. Here is what unfolded.
It is a reminder that a city is unpredictable, and that the camera sometimes sees more than you bargained for. Watch the short clip above.
