Cambridge Police were kept busy this weekend responding to a series of reports of angry people who didn't feel like keeping things bottled up:

Friday:

• A black woman shoved into a fare gate at Alewife by an angry white man, between 50 and 60, screaming racial epithets at her.
• A Sidney Street resident scratched and smacked in the face by his angry ex-girlfriend from Allston.

Saturday:

• An angry Cambridge resident standing on the sidewalk in front of 496 Mass. Ave. around 12:50 a.m. on Saturday, screaming obscenities at pedestrians, forcing them to walk into the street to avoid him.
• An angry Hull man kicked out of the Hong Kong early Saturday who returned, "enraged and swinging with his right arm and fist connecting to the victim's face and head twice."
• An angry Cambridgeside Galleria customer who threatened to come down there and "do harm" to store employees when a manager told him the store had not shortchanged him earlier.
• An angry Cambridge man who shoved a woman into a door at Kirkland and Irving late Saturday - with her head then shattering a pane of glass.

Sunday

• An angry man who got out of a car early Sunday morning at Cambridge and Hampshire streets, then began punching the passenger-side window of the car next to him, yelling racial epithets as he whaled away until he finally succeeded in smashing the window.
• An angry worker at the Harvard Square CVS who threatened to stab and shoot his boss late Sunday after the boss told him "to get off the cell phone and do his job which is to stock shelves, not talk on the cell phone."

Also in the log: A woman getting into her car at the Star Market on Mt. Auburn Street Saturday night was grabbed from behind, then pushed into her car and choked. She then managed to spray her attacker in the face with pepper spray, which made him release her and run away.
