Drugs, alcohol, hypoglycemia, being postictal from a seizure, mental health emergencies, etc.
All these things can make someone confused and/or violent, although to be clear MOST people in these categories aren’t violent. If you’re confused and all of a sudden there’s strange people around you, fight or flight is going to kick in.
And some people are just assholes.
I work in EMS. I’ve been slapped, kicked, hit, groped, punched, pushed, and had people try to bite me. We have to be on our toes constantly, because you have no idea who is going to decide that today is their day to get violent. I’ve had a sweet little demented grandma who was just chilling suddenly make a fist and go “I just really want to punch you”.
