Witnessed an assault

That is so awful!  So sorry you had to see something like that!

A guy that works where I do was beaten up in broad daylight in the town center last week. He looks a bit like an old dosser but isn't, and some young guys just ran up to him and started attacking him for no reason. Knocked all his teeth out and everything. What is wrong with people.

A friend of mine had something similar happen to him. He was jumped outside a pub by 4 guys and they knocked his two front teeth out and gave him the biggest black eye I've ever seen (it was so bad that when he blew his nose you'd see the air go into the eye... eww). This was the day before he was going to Japan to visit his girlfriend and meet her folks for the very first time.  Poor guy, heavens knows what they thought about him! He's a very gentle man.

I'm glad you were able to help, Kristi, even if only to tell the police exactly what happened. Even if they don't catch the guys, the victim can get compensation from the Criminals Injury Compensation Panel, it's only a little thing but may help him if he's lost any earnings or whatnot and your eye witness will help loads.

Thanks..   

How awful, I am one who would report but be scared afterwards of not knowing if the bad guys found out who I was. Not that my area is very prone to violence, the big thing here is od'ing on drugs, it has happened 3 times in the last 3 weeks.
