Stabbing on Peckham Rye Lane this afternoon

[Jaws]

Hi All,

I have just got home from being stuck on Rye Lane due to two women that slashed and stabbed each other to pieces, with smashed bottles - right in front of me. It was awful and absolutely disgusting.

The road was blocked and no buses were moving either side, so if you are heading that way you may be delayed.

Hopefully the police would have gotten things moving if not now then soon - but thought I'd warn you just in case.

[northlondoner]

Awful. Hope you are ok and were able to give witness statement.

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Blimey, how shocking, hope you are ok, that must have been pretty horrid to witness. What is wrong with some people?!

[brum]

Awful thing to happen and to witness. Hope you're ok x

[Suzib]

I hope you are ok, can't believe this happens. Awful.

[silverfox]

Not sure I believe this

[mothernature]

What do you exspect in Peckham.

[brum]

I know the OP, and in this case I have no doubt this terrible event actually happened.

[Sharon_H]

To Mothernature, I have lived in Peckham for 23 years and have never witnessed anything like this.

Have seen it in Lordship Lane though outside a pub.

[brum]

Fair point Sharon - this could happen anywhere.

[Sharon_H]

Yep exactly, cheers Brum.

[silverfox]

I still find this a bit far fetched.

Jaws, explain yourself, witness statements etc. If Rye Lane was at a standstill why is only Brum, who wasn't there, sticking up for you?

Are you serious? or just being an antagonistic idiot?!

Why on earth would I post this if it wasn't true? That would make me quite sick in the head. Which I assure you, I am not.

It did indeed happen and it happened right in front of me. And I have seen it twenty times over in my head since. Not something fun I can assure you.

Peckham Rye Lane, as much as I love it for the foods etc etc I think the attitude of too many people who go there-are damn right rude. Not all but certainly many-in my personal opinion.

Thanks for all your nice messages dudes..

Jaws - take a deep breath and ignore. Are you ok? Seeing that kind of thing over in your head is pretty horrible. Be kind to yourself, and take some time to recover. Sounds like you are more than a bit shocked.

Okay, so let's get this straight.

You witnessed two women slashing and stabbing eachother to pieces with broken bottles. Right in front of you.

Presumably you've given a statement to the police, given a description of the two. You may be due to visit the police station to look through mug shots to identify them given how close you were. And presumably you'll be in court to identify them if called upon?

Am I right?

Silverfox - i don't want to pick a fight, but it's just possible you are having a pop at someone who has just had a shocking, if not traumatising experience. Give him/her a break. You might be making an upset person even more distressed.

[silverfox]

True, legalbeagle. On the other hand it might not be true.

[Moos]

Silverfox, I too know Jaws and she is absolutely straight up. I don't know anything about what happened, but she would not have made it up.

[hpsaucey]

Can I second legalbeagle.

Why so suspicious silverfox???? I've seen some horrible things - they do happen you know - and it does sound to me as though poor jaws is in shock and needing to write on EDF as a way of dealing with it. Give her a break!!!

Maybe not, I don't know the OP, but the harm you do if it's true outweighs the harm done to us all if it's not.

[????]

What a shitty series of posts Silverfox.....you must be proud.

[Jaws]

You have a problem. A serious one at that.

I was just letting people know why they may be delayed going through Peckham this evening and to let them know what happened.

Thank you to all who have written nice messages asking if I am OK-it is very nice and thoughtful of you-I'm fine, just was shaken up I guess.

Isn't it nice to know that some poeple feel you need to have people 'stick up' for you to be believed about something so sick. As someone else has already said, I hope you feel so proud of yourself Silverfox, for being such a dick and trying to rile someone up that has already seen enough for one day. From me to you, well bloody done. I hope you have as good a night sleep as I will. Goodnight.

Jaws - my husband had a horrid exp (was attacked) just before Christmas, which I and our 2.5 year old witnessed. I really feel for you and know what you mean about reliving it all in your head. We've just been through the witness statement/identification parade and victim support side of things so if you want to chay just PM me.

All the very very best x

[northlondoner]

Wow. WTF is wrong with silver fox?
