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.

    • Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.
    • Yes, but the context is important and the reason.
    • That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in. 
    • TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
