Calum von Moger and his lawyer, Bernard Campigli, spoke on the reactions of the bodybuilder from that day.

“The (victim) quite rightly came out and confronted Mr von Moger. However, Mr von Moger was quite scared at the time. Mr von Moger was quite fearful of what the (victim) might do, so that’s why he stabbed the tyre and left the scene.”
