GOOD CHAT: Sydney-siders are being advised to avoid an elderly woman who is walking around trying to engage strangers in conversation about the heat.
“The woman is described as friendly, with greying hair and probably around 65 years old,” says Inspector Lyle Cummings from NSW Police.
Witnesses say she’s approaching people and saying, ‘hot enough for you today,’ and then laughing slightly.
“Yes, it’s hot, everyone knows that!” one man was heard replying to her. “We don’t need to talk about it every 10 seconds.”
Police say the woman may be lonely or bored, and was last seen in the Rocks area.
“Some witnesses say that when she finds people willing to talk to her about the weather, she then also tries to talk about the situation in the middle east.”
More to come.
