In a disturbing incident in Adelaide's Mile End, a Colombian migrant named Brandon faced a ten-minute verbal assault from his neighbor. The confrontation occurred outside the apartment block where Brandon has lived for three months, after he was approached by the neighbor who jumped a fence. The neighbor's tirade included threats of violence, stating he would retrieve a gun to shoot Brandon, which left the latter feeling unsafe and fearful due to the man's size and apparent intoxication. Brandon, who moved to Australia 18 months ago, recorded the incident on his phone out of concern for his safety. Despite the aggressive outburst, he expressed his love for Australia and his desire to remain in the country, indicating that the incident has not diminished his fondness for his new home.
