Man glassed in unprovoked attack
Date published: 15 February 2010
A MAN could be scarred for life after he was glassed in the face in an unprovoked attack in Chadderton.
The 21-year-old was slashed as he walked through a group of six teenagers outside the post office on Owler Lane, off Broadway, in south Chadderton, at around 5pm on February 4.
One of the gang kicked him and another smashed a pint glass in his face. His facial injures needed eight stitches.
Detective Constable Samantha Warrener appealed for help tracing the attackers who were aged between 17 and 19 and wearing tracksuits.
She said: “There is absolutely no motive for this attack. We will not accept this kind of incident.
“We are now appealing for the public’s help to identify these men so we can bring them to justice.”
Anyone with information should contact Oldham CID on 0161-856 8951 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
Comments
Flake, probably because the judiciary are scared of the bleeding heart do-gooders who'll cry about these poor lambs having their human rights breached. They seem more sub-human than human. Public flogging seems a good idea when reading reports like this.
These yobs will continue to perform such acts until this country stops being soft and reintroduces punishments which they fear.
Have Your Say
Is it not time that our so called justice system forced these yobs to pay for the cost of treating the injuries they cause? Plus adequate compensation for the victim instead of the criminal injuries compensation board. WHy do we have to pay for this?
Soft on crime Soft on the causes of crime
