My lad Jack and a few of his mates were coming back from carnival on the canal early evening last Sunday.
His gf Beth and another mate of his, Harry, were walking maybe thirty metres ahead. Two white blokes approached those two and without any further ado one of them hit Beth hard in the face. She was KOd and hit her head on the towpath. The other guy hit Harry.
Jack saw what was happening and as we all would rushed ahead to get to the scene. As he was running he was hit from behind and went leggy and was then hit again. In other words this was planned with the attackers in front and behind. Jacks mates then all rushed up from further back and the attackers ran off ahead, before doing so they yelled to Jack's mates to stay back as they had blades. The attackers got away but to be fair the lads were so worried about Beth that they were distracted from giving chase.
This was a white on white attack. One of Jack's mates black gf was with them. She was the only black person in within 100m of the incident. It took place on the canal North of the Grove, past Sainsburys.
Who the fvck comes up to a young woman in her mid twenties and smashes her in the face with absolutely no provocation? She was badly concussed and had brain scans but thankfully she is OK. Still very shocked. Jack's OK too, being hit from behind without warning is always a weird one as you have no chance.
I just don't know what the fvck was going on with this. Sounds random, but definitely an element of planning. Irony was Jack said it we the best carnival he'd been to in years.
Dunno if anyone local heard of any other trouble.....
