RT - "… The 27-year-old woman had been visiting a friend at a hair salon when two white youths approached her from behind and tried to rip off her hijab before pushing her onto the ground and dragging her a few meters along the pavement. Witnesses say she was left highly distraught and lay on the ground for around twenty minutes...”


If true, those scumbags should be found, arrested and charged.

“... Witnesses say she was left highly distraught and lay on the ground for around twenty minutes...”.

Twenty minutes...? Twenty? Methinks exaggeration is being employed here.

She may have been injured when she was pushed to the ground and dragged as reported, birdie.
I don't think there's a set time for lying down after being attacked by cowardly scum.

trt.....I support your wish "those scumbags should be found, arrested and charged." although I am less sure about the "if true" bit.

I am even less sure about the last sentence. Would you have said the same thing if a lady without a hijab was assaulted ?

This story is first and foremost, about a women being attacked.

[aelmpvw]

it seems perfectly feasible to me that the shock of such an attack could leave a victim immobile for twenty minutes

A sad and terrible story but here is a more cheerful one:

I don't understand why no one went to help her if they saw her lying on the ground. I wouldn't leave someone for twenty minutes.......

[mikey4444]

Neither would I Tilly !

[aelmpvw]

my interpretation of the report is that it was twenty minutes before she could move, not twenty minutes before assistance arrived

[rockyracoon]

Did I read the report right? She phoned the police herself? Unbelievable!

[mikey4444]

Rocky....not sure what you mean by unbelievable ?

[Tilly2]

Yes, that too, Rocky.

[Tilly2]

Why did no one else call the police?

[Old_Geezer]

Maybe no one thought it was an emergency except the victim ?

[rockyracoon]

How could anyone not think that was an emergency? She was assaulted.

As I left a nightclub, years ago, I saw a group of people stood around, looking at an unconscious man on the floor. I went over and asked if anyone had phoned for an ambulance. All I got was dumb expressions as if I was talking in a foreign language. There was a phone box 10 feet from where we were standing, so I ran and called the ambulance, which arrived very quickly. In the meantime, I took off my coat and laid it over the man to keep him warm.
Thankfully, the ambulance men were very efficient and had him in the back in minutes. They asked whose coat it was and it was returned to me.
So, basically, yes I can believe that no-one called the police over this incident. I think it's a common response just to stand and stare at somebody else's misfortune.

My first thought wouldn't have been to call the police. I'd have gone to the woman to comfort and help her, which I'm sure the witnesses did. How else would they have known she was lying on the ground for twenty minutes if they didn't stay around to try to help?

According to one person, “She had back surgery last month and was really worried it was damaged again, as she couldn’t walk by herself." ...and was also having a panic attack. It's no wonder she didn't move for 20 minutes. Horrible attack.

[RATTER15]

She had back surgery a month before, she was probably afraid to move!

Sickening!!

Sorry Pasta, I didnt see you comment, I was reading the article before posting.

Be very careful how you answer that, Rocky ... inspector mikey is currently mulling over the idea that you thought it was unbelievable that the woman in the hijab rang the police herself just to make trouble and therefore you could possibly be a Britain First supporter.
