On their way out of Westfield this morning, drivers were met on the entrance/exit roadway by a man begging.
He carried his possessions in his backpack and a hand-drawn children’s cart that he had set up in the Matipo Street entrance/exit.

It appeared mall security had spotted him and was keeping their distance in the covered carpark.
