[thechat] Friend of mine stabbed, not in danger

[Syed Zeeshan Haider]

From: "DESCHAMPS Stéphane DSI/SICOR"

> A fellow technical architect and asp.net specialist (who's also been a
> 'thelist' reader for a few years), Matthieu, was stabbed without a word by a
guy
> on Friday who wanted to snatch his laptop computer.

I feel really sorry for your friend and feel deep sympathy for him.
Worst effect of this incident could be psychological and I think this effect is
often
ignored in many cases (at least in Asia).
Best wishes from me for your friend!

In which country your friend is? What does the police say about the incident?

All the best to you and your friend!
