Jeannette Carroll, 51, was near Flatts Lane County Park in Middlesbrough with five dogs when she was brutally attacked by the random assailant.
She initially tried to calm the man down after he shouted at her, but he launched a savage punch to the face - knocking her unconscious for 20 seconds, she claims. A park ranger tried to intervene before he was also allegedly punched by the man.Gosh!
Ms Carroll said: "It was totally unexpected.
"I had gone over to reassure him, if people are nervous I will put the dogs on a lead.
"I didn't see the punch coming - when I woke up I was covered in blood."Hmm, shouldn't they be on a lead and under your control anyway?
She said she has to keep walking dogs to earn a living but is now afraid to do so.Ah! I think we can see how this went. And guess why the gent was so irate.
Had his own animal mauled by one of her charges, or stepped in something unpleasant left by one, perhaps?
Does it excuse violence to a woman? Maybe not. But it possibly explains it....
Despite contacting police around half a dozen times, she claims an officer still hasn't been out to see her and take a statement about the serious assault. She claims that an officer was rude to her on the phone and "a letdown to the police".
Even they are fed up with people's mouths writing checks their body can't cash, it seems.
How do you measure 20 seconds when you are unconscious?
ReplyDeleteAlso nit-picking,
Shirley that should be cheque not check. Plaid guilty.
Having visited Middlesbrough several times (not by choice), is it possible the 'dogs' were, in fact, local chavettes, in which case they definitely should have been on a leash!
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who thinks that there is more to this than meets the eye? Perhaps the perp had children who were hassled by the dogs? Most likely. It was an extreme reaction, and frankly, even nutters need to be provoked to do that degree of violence to a woman. Perhaps the police know the real facts.

ReplyDeleteMaybe there's an app for it..? :)
