As per a news reported in The Tribune (TT) Balmeet Singh and his friends were out for dinner in California Avenue. The incident happened when Singh went out of the restaurant to make a phone call.

Balmeet Singh said in the middle of his conversation a man walked out of a cafe and headed straight toward him.

“The man said you’re trying to blow up this country, I should kill you. I’m going to kill you right now. And he used a lot of curse words and he seemed very angry,” Balmeet Singh was quoted as saying by the local media Turnto23.com.

Balmeet Singh said after that the man started to walk off towards the parking lot.
