Pinkie Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Hi guys. A good friend of mine was very badly hurt on Saturday night ater an unprovoked attack, and I was hoping someone may have seen something that could help in finding the scum who did it. My friend was walking home from work on Saturday night, along Abbeydale Road when he was attacked. This happened at around 11:05pm, just a few houses away from The Rude Shipyard. He was hit in the face once with a blunt object, and has severe eye damage now along with nerve damage to his face, a fractured bone, a chipped tooth, stitches.. etc...... There were people around who didn't intervene, which I could almost understand given the state of his face and how scary it must have looked. The 3 attackers fled afterwards, leaving him on the floor, where he remained for 20 minutes until a police car spotted him. He called to several passers by for help, but was ignored. I don't care if people were scared and didn't want to get involved, no one's judging you. But it you WERE there and saw something, can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get in touch with the police? Or likewise if you hear something that might lead to identifying these despicable louts. People who can commit such acts of violence need to be caught before they go too far. Lecture over. Sorry for ranting, but he's really not in a good way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it breaks my heart to know he was lying on the pavement for 20 minutes, pleading for people to phone for help, and no one did anything I just pray to god they're caught before this kind of horrendous thing can be done again or, heaven forbid, worse.

Paul2412 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 It's people like these who should be hung by the scrotum off the nearest overhead electric cable. The fact that nobody did anything is the state of our society. If anyone tried to help they would have got a beating themselves. If anyone attacked the idiots then they would have got charged. You can understand why people didn't try to stop the attack but would have thought someone would have helped the guy afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkie Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 He's 30. He's never been in a fight in his life. Ironically enough, he didn't like the look of these 3 chaps and actually put his head down as he walked past them to avoid eye contact as he didn't want to start anything. Sadly, this means he couldn't give the police a very good description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I can't blame the people who did nothing when the blokes were there, it's a matter of personal safety. But to just walk past someone left in that state.... it honest to god breaks my heart. I walked that way last night, and there are pools and trails of blood all across the pavement where he had to drag himself to the road to call for help.....

I agree with this in the most. I'll be honest, I probably wouldn't have helped either, as there is no point in 2 of us getting a beating, but not calling for help at the vey least is downright awful. All it takes is a phone call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, even going into a shop and asking them if they can point the CCTV towards it so the police have a chance of identifying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
