dumped into or...???
 
 hi there,
 
well i need someone to tell me how we say it in English..
 
since i don �t know the word, i �ll try to describe the situation..
 
if you are walking and someone "puts his feet on you way" on purpose so you fall down!!! can we say "dumped into" or there is another expression...
