[SW11_Saint]

Anyone see this?

 

Not sure if the victims were Saints fans. Police appealing for witnesses.

They were Eastern Europeans. Corky & Hasper saw it in the way back to the car. Said it was a proper hiding being dished out.

[Joesaint]

Hope they get the people who did this, although I do wish crimes like this were delt with, by a proper punishment.

[Deano6]

Why the f*** would it matter if they were Saints fans? They are still human beings.

Who were ? The attackers or the victims ?

[corky morris]

Both sets were Eastern European. I have called 101 & the other numbers 3 times & cant get an answer. If anyone from Hamphire Police wants to PM me on here I will happily share what i saw from what was quite a distance. I also saw the end of the pre - attack fight 2 of them had.

Have to say it was a very viscious attack. One of the victims girlfriends watched it all as well & her baby was in a pram.

Without wanting to do down your actions (on the contrary, your efforts are commendable), you want to be calling 999 rather than 101 in such a situation. 101 is for non emergencies, crimes that have already happened and situations that would benefit from police attendance but not necessarily need an immediate response. A vicious attack in the street in progress is definitely a 999 call.

 

It's a weird dichotomy whereby normal decent people tend not to call 999 sometimes when its justified because they don't want to 'cause a fuss' or be accused of overreacting, whilst idiots have no qualms about calling 999 for little to no reason whatsoever.

 

Anyway, it's very poor that Hants don't answer their 101 calls, as that's the whole point, but it doesn't surprise me as I've heard some pretty bad things about the service as a whole. If you fill out the form at http://www.hampshire.police.uk/internet/do-it-online/online-forms/request-call-back.html and just write something along the lines of 'I was a witness to a serious assault' they should get back to you. Although if they were eastern europeans and no ambulance was called, there's a pretty good chance it won't have even been reported.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Acting Sergeant Paul Salley at Southampton Central police station on 101 or the anonymous Crimestoppers charity line on 0800 555 111.

nope, and this thread doesn't exist. Just all in our imagination.

That'll teach me not to read the op properly...

It doesn't - I was just trying to avoid "what the **** does this have to do with Saints" accusations.

[Dimond Geezer]

I think we need to know if they are Saints or Man U fans. Clearly if the latter there isn't a problem with them getting a "bit of a slap". Is there?

 

 

 

 

 

I'm being facetious.

No, sorry Stu0x, you fail once more miserably. He has information on the event which is already happened, so should be calling 101, NOT 999. I don't think he witnessed it and tried to phone 101 whilst watching it, isn't that right, corky.

[St Jim]

Let's get this straight then, it's a disgrace to see 2 Eastern Europeans take a hiding but OK to see a ManUre fan given a slapping?

Yes thats right. Because one sounds like a viscious attack and the other sound like a slap, there is a difference.

Not sure what your beef is, I have no idea who you are, have I somehow wronged you at some point?

 

I figured given he said he actually saw it happen that he had tried to call at the time. My mistake, captain aggressive.

No there isn't. They are both violent assaults and both not acceptable.
