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.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
