Seemingly random NPC in Dogtown approached me talking all cryptic before pulling out a machete. Anyone else seen this? Other pics are for trying to find and replicate this. (map and a reference point)

I think they are supposed to be paranoid and delusional drug addicts who attack V when you get close to them. It’s why they say stuff like “Are you one of them?’.
Junkie. You’ll come across them occasionally in dogtown. Some will be hostile, and some will just talk random gibberish.
These are like hostile addicts or something, only in Dogtown, and they pretty much always drop the Black Lace consumable, and junk. I usually find them near groups of NPCs lounging around.
Combining Black Lace and brake fluid will get you fucked up.
I’ve never had one attack me actually. They just run up to me and follow me
They’re explicitly identified as junkies when you scan them.
Your screenshot even shows the drug that one was probably using: Black Lace. Maybe the brake fluid, too. Junkies being junkies, and all.
Lol one was trailing behind me saying “password?” Just before pulling a knife on me. I shot her in the face due to reflex
As others said, he’s an addict. Ignore the clothes, the Black Lace on his body is what’s relevant. You’ll learn more about the drug in side jobs in Dogtown if you’re paying attention.
I got attacked in dogtown by a person like that. I’d never seen that happen before.
there are a few spots that have skeezed out druggies attacking you, it is possible to just walk away from a few, other times, you may need to just beat them down. its like that one guy that the cops are chasing, if if he wins, only seems to hate you
I believe I ran into him twice.
I noticed these otherwise civilians would do that, and then figured out the pattern. They’re all carrying black lace. My guess is CDPR is trying to tell us the drug makes people get super aggressive, but for whatever reason only attack the player? Maybe a design constraint, or maybe they overlooked the possibility of them just attacking whomever was closest to them when the player is close enough to see it happen and investigate. Like how there are those car bombings that happen when you drive in corpo plaza that are completely unrelated to you in story, but exclusively happen when you’re driving by to make sure you see them.
Yeah, I’ve been attacked in the Pacifica projects and Japantown alleys
Prolly feeling like a badass motherfucker with that thing. But now i bet he’s feeling a like a dead ass motherfucker.

Some of them have cyberware capacity shards
Was he screaming “invasion!” ?
They usually ask me “Password?” before going aggro on me.
Yes, there are junkies who attack you there. I wish there was more crime like this everywhere
