A guy with a gruesome wound on his arm is walking the streets of East London. Ten minutes ago he approached me, rolled up his sleeve, and revealed a deep gash on his left forearm that was weeping with blood. He then pleaded for money so that he could get a cab to the hospital. Thing is, this guy has done the same thing to me a bunch of times over the past few years. Maybe he's just really unlucky and keeps on getting into traumatic accidents. Or maybe he's a charlatan who's good at applying latex wounds.When I saw gash guy walking towards me today, I readied my cameraphone and, as he gave his shpeel, I snapped this photo. It doesn't capture his fake injury in all its gory glory, but you get the picture. He scurried off before I could ask him what was up. Have you seen this man too?DOMINIC TUNON
