A woman in her 60s had a drink poured over her and was kicked to the floor as she travelled on a rush hour bus. The victim was travelling on a 108 bus in Newham when she was attacked by two other women at 5.20pm on May 28, police said.
Scotland Yard said she was approached by two other women who poured a drink over her, before pushing her to the ground and repeatedly kicking her. The victim suffered a broken nose in what police called an “unprovoked assault”.
...rather than kicking their door down and arresting them.
They are indeed still calling it an assault, you'll note. But the two woman are claiming that they were 'provoked' and were actually the real victims:
Well, buses have cameras and there were witnesses. So, we'll see. Won't we?
Aged 16 and 17 and their parents have to attend with them before they can be interviewed.
ReplyDeleteThe party of law and order led by the vile Theresa May tied our hands with changes to the law regarding arresting people. Blame her not the police.

ReplyDeleteRemind me again how long it's been since she was PM?
Very true Julia-she hasn't been PM for a few years but none of her successors have made any effort to reverse the destruction she caused. Most of them agreed with what she did.
