Tomm06 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I'm abit un clear...so, did he take anything from the house orrrr...? Or did he just knock on the door, when she opened, hit her and then went on his merry way? He'd be ok knocking here, I keep my golf clubs in the hallway next to the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rothschild Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Your golf clubs wouldn't be a lot of help after being knocked out with a single punch to the face on opening the door!! I hope that the poor woman who suffered this vicious assault is ok........though I doubt that she will be..... and let it be a warning to all........don't open your door to strangers, especially at night. My front door is like fort knox but it is half glazed. If I don't recognise the outline of the person on the other side, I either check by looking through the lounge window or I keep the chain on as I open the door. Not only that but whoever is on the other side of the door might be wary when they hear the dog going crazy on the inside. You can never be too sure these days so it's allways better to be safe then sorry. Sadly it's a sign of the times that we live in. I hope the police catch the maniac that did this and I wish the victim a speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Typical ignoramus stigmatising again probably an england fan!!! Yes I am an England fan, but I do know that Netheredge Hospital (Michael Carisle Centre) seem to have an open door policy. Some of the residents there have quite severe mental health problems, but are allowed to just walk out it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoepuppet Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Thats right Paddy, my OH was attacked from behind on the street by someone from there a few months ago and the police didnt do anything due to him being from there as he was being "treated and was not aware of his actions".

Hetty Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I always look through the window before I open the door, day or night. If I don't know them, I don't open the door. Hope the the person who was hit,is doing well now, must have been awful for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness I stand a bigger chance of withstanding the punch more than an old woman... but anyway, that doesn't answer my question. Does anyone know if he took anything from the house or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the person was a patient and the MC centre, surely people working there wouldn't get a security warning giving such a vague description.

crookesey Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Typical ignoramus stigmatising again probably an england fan!!! So no point in examining that possibility then. Yes another England fan, strange that, we are both possibly English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine is a copper at Woodseats and they tell me that at least once a day they are asked to look out for a patients who have walked out of that hospital.

Bonny Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I always open my door without a chain and shall continue to do so. Good for you honey, but if anyone is concerned about who is at the door then using a safety chain is a good idea. My door is always locked, but it's half-glazed so I can usually see who is there anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
