He had woken up a few minutes earlier on a subway train, with bumps on his "skull" and headache, and had no idea where he was going, where he had been, or who he was. 'I was scared,' he said later, when talking about the experience. 'I didn't know anything. It was like being in the darkness., Doug wen5 to a police station because he had nowhere else to go. he was wearing a T-shirt, shorts and "flip-flops" and he had a "rucksack" with a few possessions in it: a Spanish phrase book, a bunch of keys and a map of new York. The police were "baffled". 'we'd never had anything like this before,' says lieutenant Pete Pena. They sent Doug to Coney island Hospital. On his name tag the nurse wrote 'Unknown White Male'.
