Greetings Dawud-
The incident happened at a public pool facility in Wanhua district.
I do not drink alcohol. I was just using the public pool facilities.
The reason I think I was attacked by the criminal is as follows:
I am a very shy and introverted individual. I usually do not talk to strangers or people I do not know. I avoid all eye contact with people I do not know.
In America, we tend to “physically distance ourselves,” ignore, and avoid all people that physically approach you who appear to be “dangerous, mentally unstable, or seem engaged in illicit/shady dealings.”
The criminal who attacked me looks like thug, walks like a thug, and acts like a thug.
I avoided and ignored him as he tried to engage in conversation with me multiple times.
In America, when you ignore someone, they leave you alone because they get the hint you want privacy.
However, this Taiwanese thug considered my ignoring him as “making him lose face?” in front of his friends," so he attacked me.
However, this is just my speculation because I really do not know why the criminal attacked me because a reasonable person would not attack someone for ignoring them in America.
All the best.
