Duly Quoted: City Hall Reporter Daniel Dale

"At some point, perhaps 10 or 15 seconds into the encounter, he cocked his fist near his head and began charging at me at a full run. I began pleading with him, as loud as I could, with my hands up, for him to stop. I yelled, at the top of my lungs, something like, 'Mayor Ford, I’m writing about the land! I’m just looking at the land!'"
