Hello everyone, I am asking for (psychological / law support) some help how to deal with a strange and scary situation like this. I live in Zurich since 5 years that I feel in danger and the worst part is that I simply feel alone, not listened and totally vulnerable in a situation that normally in Italy I simply solve with a call to my lawyer. I was trying to enter in a Bar in Langstrasse (actually only because I wanted to listen to a song I like) and the guy at the door told me “no we are full” so ok I simply abandoned the idea. I stayed close to the front door because in any case I was waiting for my friend to come, but my intention was not to enter there anymore since we were heading somewhere else. I was typing something in my phone and suddenly the security guy took a person and throw it against me. The person ended up in the middle of the road (almost under a car), fortunately nothing happed to me, just the “hit” from the launched body. My face was simply “wtf”, then I keep typing my phone. After some second the guy told me “you cannot enter” and I told to him “ yes you told me I don’t want to enter don’t worry” And he yelled at me “GO AWAY” and I told him “no this is public road” indeed I was in the corner of a public road next to the street light. And again the guy “go fucking away or I beat the sht out of you” and I told him “if you touch me I call the police”. And I started yelling “Call the police or I use pepper spray” and in that moment he took then pepper spray and started to chase me. I run away. Then my friend came and I reached him to that corner. The guy at the door listened that I am Italian because I was talking in Italian to my friend and again started to yell at me (this time in Italian, but clearly not an Italian person) “Go fucking away you ugly dirty Italian race of sht” (he said it in Italian, first time someone is so racist at me). I was keeping explaining in the calmest way as possible in English “no conflicts, we don’t want to enter. We usually come here, we are customer. You already let us in many times, no conflicts” I tried to give him the hand as piece signal. He took again the pepper and yelled at me “you are lucky I didn’t punch you” But I was already running away from the pepper spray. Please, I need an advice. I don’t want to make this end like this. Can he control the public road also? Pushing people away from a public space? Can I simply go to the police and report this in Zurich? submitted by /u/fudeel
