Runners in Percy Park almost always run during daylight hours. Most people in the area are under the impression that Percy Park is dangerous after dark, especially for someone running alone. However, these people are mistaken because, according to recent police reports, almost all muggings and attacks on runners in Percy Park have occurred during daylight hours. Nighttime in Percy Park is not as dangerous as it may seem.

The reasoning in the argument is most vulnerable to criticism because it:

  1. Relies on an unreliable source to prove its assertion.
  2. Overlooks the possibility that police reports are not the most reliable source for determining the safety of the park.
  3. Overlooks the possibility that running in Percy Park is unsafe at any time.
  4. Overlooks the possibility that if more people ran in Percy Park at night, there would be more attacks on runners at night.
  5. Presumes, without providing justification, that running is the most dangerous activity to do in Percy Park.
