0 It looks fine to me, except it should be "in the street". (But as for content -- I don't see why someone running naked in the street would be considered a victim.)02br

0Sorry for the incomplete context. The minister believed his political opponents may have been behind the incident- possibly his son was stripped and forced to streak. I hope it's clear to you now. I should have made it clear in my original because there's no way the reader will know that.02br

00To this day, I still struggle with 'in the street' vs 'on the street'. I clearly remember, 'in the street' means the pavement (the area in between the opposing sidewalks) and 'on the street' the sidewalks. I was told to say "living on the street" or the homeless person would be run over by vehicle. Applying this logic, I chose "on" to indicate that he was running on the sidewalks. Please correct me if I'm wrong.0-
