An unfortunate fall

While Sanchez was painting the building, an elderly man in a wheelchair approached the ladder and suddenly starts violently shaking it until the painter comes crashing down. Reportedly, the elderly man became enraged because the ladder was blocking his path on the sidewalk. The ladder was tied to a rope to provide stability but apparently it was a problem for the wheelchair-bound man as he became upset and pulled it out.

One user said that being disabled doesn't force him to be rude and act inappropriately. A wheelchair-bound user said that being diable is no excuse for that as there was plenty of room to be able to get through. The user added that as a wheelchair user himself he faces such problems regularly but that doesn't mean I'll become rude to everyone. Another user said, "What a nasty man - he could have killed that guy and no doubt has caused him serious injuries [sic] (even if he did get up and walk away) - the man should face criminal charges."
