Title: Brutal attack at Crawley
Post by: Marlburian on July 09, 2023, 18:59:47
CCTV appeal after Crawley rail worker punched and stamped on by fare dodger (https://www.itv.com/news/meridian/2023-07-09/appeal-rail-worker-has-head-stamped-on-after-confronting-fare-dodger)

Frightening overreaction by the fare dodger. I am increasingly nervous about remonstrating with anyone about anything.

(I wonder why it takes so long to release a CCTV image of an incident - this image was released two weeks after the incident.)

It's the unnecessary excess of violence that makes this especially concerning.  Here's hoping that the Transport Police, railway staff and general public can between them bring the perpetrator to justice....and off course a speedy recovery to the injured station worker.

There was a comparable case at Reading not so long ago when a man got killed after someone playing loud music on a train had been asked to turn down the volume. Report. (https://www.getreading.co.uk/news/reading-berkshire-news/cctv-last-moments-reading-murder-26548626)
