A difficult sentence
The part of Hong Kong where I used to live was famous for being a Triad den. There were plenty of secret mahjong gambling rooms, and the police were always raiding them.
Once, I was almost brained by a folding chair that came a bit close for comfort on its way to the curb.
In the above sentences, I don't get the last part. Could you rewrite it in simpler terms?
