The person who headbutted the man should face retribution. heinous behaviour that shouldn't be supported in any circumstances

[spathiphyllum]

Also it's important to note, the passengers on the train were not aware at all that the man had a "suspected" knife on him. We don't even know now if he did.

Wonder if the guy in the suit would head-butted the 'pygmy' had he known he was carrying a knife?

[Ken4155]

What's a suspected knife, spath?

[spathiphyllum]

Well considering there were 4 men holding him up against the door, i think headbutting the man was a week, pathetic, highly illegal manoeuvre.

Hem must be a depressed horrid, horrid man. I hope he is seen to.

[spathiphyllum]

Exactly ken.. did he have a knife or not? It's said he was arrested for having a suspected knife on him. It's said no where that he actually had a knife on him.

[spathiphyllum]

If i was a random passanger on that train i would have made a citizens arrest on the headbutter.

[Mamyalynne]

Despicable behaviour.

Spath, did you watch the video? He was not held by four men at the time of the headbutt.

[spathiphyllum]

What's worse mamy in my opinion is people seemed to support the headbutt.

Imagine, leaning on some chairs in a heavily packed train for it to lead to numerous men confronting you, holding you up against the door. You'd feel threatened, you'd feel unfairly treated. To then get headbutted like he did whilst having about 15 cameras pointed in his face, to be met by some people laughing at that action? Heinous and anyone who supports it is utterly wicked.

[spathiphyllum]

Whilst both of his arms were held crossed, and one man in front of him with 3 others besides him, he was brutally headbutted. He was totally cornered Danny. Defenceless.

[spathiphyllum]

Do you see any of the people around him tery to help, or after the headbutt get the vicious man away from him? No .. they allow him to push his unconscious body further up against the wall.

Utterly vile

[spathiphyllum]

If you aint got much sympathy Spicerack maybe someone could go headbutt one of your family members in a similar style? See if you have a bit of empathy then for such a wicked act.

[retrocop]

I believe he was subsequently arrested for carrying a knife and 'suspected stolen property by finding'. Slight difference.

[spathiphyllum]

he was arrested on suspicion.

Pretty sure if he had a knife The Sun out of all newspapers would have made a reference to a crazy knife wielding immigrant. The reason i say immigrant is because the article says the man "speaks with a heavy accent"

[Spicerack]

Why are having a go at me, splat?

[spathiphyllum]

your op "Not Much Sympathy For The Little Fella! implies he deserved it or that he had it coming. From the evidence i've seen this is not the case at all. Therefore i think your opinion is vile and unfortunately an opinion can reflect character.

[retrocop]

Course whilst the short man is attempting to sit on other passenger's heads it would of been perfectly acceptable to throw a milkshake over him.
Calm down spath and stop hopping out your pram. If you read posts properly you will see the word 'subsequently' arrested.
No one suggested it was a crazed knife wielding immigrant, only you, letting your imagination run wild again.
He was 'subsequently' (that means later) stopped by police and found to be carrying a knife. He had ,also, in his possession property 'Suspected' of been stolen by finding. It is pretty clear if you just calm down.

[spathiphyllum]

What is being discussed is the headbutt. None of the passengers knew what he had on him? and comparing a milkshake to a potentially fatal blow to the face is futile.

If as a ex copper you saw this passenger headbutt the shorter man, what would you have done, if you had only the visuals in the video to go from?

[Spicerack]

Also, I didn't say or imply he deserved it. Calm down, dear.
