Law!

A month ago my bf was attacked by bouncers, we reported it to the police and were in for 3 hours giving statements, this was 3 weeks ago!
They told us they would interview the bouncers and get back to us.
We heard nothing so rang police station saturday and was told someone would ring lastnight, they didnt!
Rang the police station again and they could answer none of our questions i.e.have the bouncers been interviewed and what is the outcome.
They said an officer will ring within the next 3 days!
I understand they have emergencies to deal with but you would think we would have had a call.
What do you think...anything we can do?? paulakea (Tue 08:18 17/Oct/06)

JRB		(Tue 09:25 17/Oct/06) Was your bf injured? Did he have expenses resulting from this, eg loss of earnings, medical expenses, damage to clothing etc. If so write to the place where the bouncers work stating that the matter is in the hands of the police (which it is even though nothing much has happened) and asking for compensation. However be sure that the bf did not provoke the incident by being drunk and disorderly as that would lessen your case.

paulakea		(Wed 08:08 18/Oct/06) Question Author The forece they used could have killed him, they do not have the power to do this. My bf was not abusive, drunk, disordly or rude to them...
