Area: Dulwich Wood Park / Paxton Green

Time/Date: c. 10-10am Tue 3rd Jan

Age/Gender: 20-ish/male


While this is marginally out of the ED area, this individual will be transient.


He approached a woman who had pulled up and parked on a side road. He ran up to the drivers window screaming for her to get out brandisihg a chisle like weapon. Unsuccessful, he walked to the nearest bus stop and took a bus.


** Police **

From 999 to the team turning up, 'MD' Soutwark Police, excellent and clear communication with support. Great guys!


Specific details have not been included for good reason.

Yeah you've got a point, I mean why even include age or gender in the description


Just 'screaming chisel wielding person' would have sufficed

Yes I suppose a description of the person is way too much of a giveaway. It takes the intrigue out of it if you know what you're looking for


I can see it now on crime watch "Did you see a Male with a chisel and an Oyster card"


Seriously, this is lame. What did the man with the chisel actually look like?


Simple question, or was he in disguise?

This is about the 'what happened'.


Discriptions are in the hands of the police. Male and 20-ish are purely indicators. Remember 'chisel-like'. its neither a 'chisel' nor a 'like'.


Nay over estimate nor query, just get the event.



You have all been remarkably astute!

"This is about the 'what happened'. "


It's also about people being aware. For their safety, which I consider fairly important.


If not for a good bit of gossip, the purpose of this thread is to make people aware, alert and vigilant, so that they can stay safe, and perhaps report possible suspects (Although obviously that is less relevant now.)


The point is, providing a better description would help keep people safer and make the guy more likely to meet justice.


Perhaps I'm wrong, and there is legitimate "good reason" not to describe them, in which case that's acceptable.

    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
