Guard M.T.'s lament: "No good deed goes unpunished".

The evening before last at about 1930 hours at the Bostancı 

Marmaray station drunken A.A. was pestering others so 

security guard M.T. (41) warned him to behave himself.  This

prompted A.A. to attack M.T., who then shot AA. in the leg. 

Medics arrived to take A.A. to a hospital for treatment.

M.T.'s back-up was off duty at the time. 

Police checked their records and found that A.A. had been 

arrested before for "breaking and entering".  As for M.T.

he was arraigned in court for "intentional wounding" (!)

but released on judicial supervision.
