Hi all,


My partner was attacked by a man in Peckham Rye park in October last year. It was very disturbing for him and he hasn't felt the same since, experiencing high anxiety and very concerned about walking around the park by himself (which was a daily activity for him).


He (and I) are determined to make sure the perpetrator pays for this. My partner called the Police on his attacker (who had escaped), but the police failed to conduct interviews around the caf?/play area where lots of people would have seen the incident.


My partner had to track down witnesses himself (going to the caf? the next day to get phone numbers etc), only for the police to then not to follow up on calling witnesses he himself brought forward. This eventually led to my partner contacting the independent office for police conduct, with full details of what had happened. They have now closed their investigation, but no charges have been brought against the aggressor due to a lack of witnesses.


So with my encouragement, he's created a website which is linked below. We are hoping the good people of EDF will take a look and even share the website - there is a picture of a lady who is a potential witness to the crime.

Hi Rosetta,


There was, but that was earlier and my partner didn't believe there was any witnesses to that - it was near the skate park/outside gym area of the park. The police were called because he was attacked by a man (who was partner to the dog owner) a few minutes later in the open park, by rugby fields.

Hi Rose,


I'm not sure that's fair. She was not the object of the photo, just someone who got in the way of a photo my partner was taking of the assailant. We have edited and cropped the photo so she is now the foreground.


There's no suggestion she has done anything wrong, but my partner believes this person is 'superbly' well placed to provide a witness statement and simply must have seen what happened that day.

Is this the one about the guy who got barked at by a dog on Peckham Rye and then followed the woman walking said dog taking pictures. She called her partner and when he tried to talk to the guy, he ran off and called the police. There was a long thread about this but I can't find it.

    • 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.
