Attack - Oglander Road (at the beginning of October)

[Blue10]

I've never done this before but I just wanted to write a quick note. I am a 27 year old women and was attacked on Oglander Road early one evening last week by three young girls carrying a weapon. The matter is now with the police but I just wanted to highlight the fact that despite my cries for help, no one called the police or intervened. I know it's scary but we really do need to stick together if we want to maintain ED as an area with a strong community spirit.

Blue--Hope you are doing ok--must have been truly horrible. Have you seen this thread? Perhaps it's the same girls?

[snorky]

what part of OgR ?

[Mark]

Hi Blue10, sorry to hear about that and hope you're ok. Could you let us know what these girls look like please?

[Bellenden Jo]

That's terrible - hope you are OK - definately let us know what the girls look like. Seems to be a spate of attacks going on, not a good thing at all.

[mixulee]

3 young girls carrying a weapon ? Weren't there 3 young girls who tried to attack that girl on Northcross Rd ?

[Blue10]

I'm so glad you've reacted well, i didn't want to scare monger. Three, all under 16, one black two asian. Started near the end of Og, ED side and continued all the way up. I'm fine now, just bruises and damaged pride.

What is it with teenage girls these days??? I remember some girls I knew having hastle from other girls, but going around tooled up and mugging people, that seems quite a new thing.

Hi Blue10

Just wanted to add that I'm glad you're ok. It must have been very frightening for you.

[Blue10]

Thank you, that's really kind.

Can I just add for those who are thinking about moving to the area, ED is actually a lovely area and the Police made a point of telling me what a rare occurence this was.

[fractionater]

Blue10 - good to here you're ok...out of curiousity what sort of weapon were they carrying?

I blame all that rap music they listen to these days.

[Blue10]

What looked/felt like a crow bar.

[mockney piers]

Sorry to hear that Blue, hope you're ok.

It sounds suspiciously like it could be the same girls; if they're stupid enough to be repeating their crimes in the same area then let's hope it's not long before they're caught.

Blue10, if you clear it with the police first and ensure that it won't affect their enquiries, please feel free to post a full description of the girls and the incident on this forum

[fractionater]

I feel so tempted to dig out the old Hockey stick and go for a wander tonight - makes the blood boil!

[downsouth]

Blue just to echo others' sentiments. Glad you're ok, there really is no excuse.

Fractionater - without trying to hijack the thread there are different forms of rap music so please don't label an entire genre. Also, in my yoof I listened to stuff far worse than what I hear being played nowadays however it didn't suddenly make into an OG (Original Gangster). The issues are a bit more complex than that but often relate to discipline and supervision of one's own children. occassiolly they are sometimes just nasty so and so's.

Blue hope you get better soon.

I am really glad this thread has been started.

These three girls seem to be causing a great deal of trouble in ED and I think it is really important we all keep our eyes peeled.

It does concern me because I have always felt so comfortable walking around ED after dark. I am not too sure how comfortable I would feel with my sister doing then same heaving heard Blue's story.

Blue - hope you feel better soon.

there's nothing to suggest that they were the same girls - this was three girls, one black two asians, the other group was four black - so one in common at most, based on the fact that she was a girl and black

so what are we keeping our eyes peeled for - black and asian girls?

blue - i am very sorry that this incident occurred, i hope that you do not have to suffer any similar misfortune in the future

[seanmlow]

Pk -

Please don't use my comments as a way of suggesting racism - very offensive and narrow minded indeed.

As I am sure anyone else on this thread can understand, I was suggesting one keep their eyes peeled for ANY groups looking suspicious - black, white, yellow, green, blue, male or female!

not suggesting racism, just that it doesn't seem that these girls are the same girls as those involved in the instance on north cross road - (which it does seem that you and others on the thread were suggesting)

Blue? Blue was the victim, you fool!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Just caught this so it feels way to late too add to the chorus of "glad you're oks" - but I am and also think you've acted really well about the hole situation

(and I so know what fractionater means - even if it's wrong and that)

[Keef]

Innit, lets get vigilate on their asses! ;-) I'm also happy you're okay blue!
