Today at about 7.30 pm by three black youths, they ran off down Oglander and right on to Grove Vale. If anyone saw them 2 about 5'10", one a bit smaller please contact police immediately.

They were after her phone and had just turned off oglander road whilst walking back from the bus stop on grove vale.

There seems to have been a few robberies around Grove Vale/Oglander Road/ED station area. Maybe another good moment to urge people to put their phones away when walking away from the station until they get home. Am still startled by the amount of people I see chatting away or texting on their expensive phones while walking down the street.

what's shockinng about this attack is that there were 3 of them. Most of the other attacks in the area have been lone men. This was brutal. She was a 40+ woman walking on her own. 3 men set upon her and she had absolutely no chance to defend herself. She was kicked and punched whilst lying on teh floor.

Thankfully the local residents were quick on the scene and chased them off. Well done Atticus and John Beasley!


edit to add John Beasley

For goodness sake!


Atticus posted that 26 minutes after the attack. He couldn't go with the police to look for the 3 men cos he had a toddler at home to mind. So he put out a description on the local forum in hope that someone in the area may have seen them run down grove vale and tell the police of the sighting.


Grrrrrrr


Ps don't know how she is unfortunately

FFS - Maybe they might have been seen later, in the minutes afterwards, so yes their ethnicity would need to be mentioned.

That's awful - poor woman. Makes me sick...


Of course you need to mention their ethnicity as an ingtegral part of an accurate description - What's the matter with you?


Tall? Short? Ginger? Fat? skinny? Glasses? Black? What's the difference? I think they lost their rights to 'political correctness' the day they chose to kick and punch a lone defenceless woman for a handbag.

Is there any need to note their gender, then? Surely 'three people' would suffice? I mean, we wouldn't want to be sexist, meister...

OH MY FOOKING GOD! I give up!

I think you're being deliberately antagonistic. A woman has had a vicious attack, and is probably hurt and extremely traumatised - I know I bloody well would be - and all you can worry about is the fact that the OP mentioned, having witnessed the attack, that the assailants were black.


Well, blow me. If I read that "3 black youths...." I (maybe wrongly) am going to assume they were blokes. The OP probably would have mentioned if they were girls, as attacks are USUALLY made by blokes.


I think you need to get over yourself and have some respect for the victim.

Well Atticus (even myself) wouldn't of started the message with.... It was 3 males black or 3 females black........!

At the end of the day 3 BLACK Youths committed this crime and it needs to be mentioned.

Its one of the first questions the police would ask. No point looking for a white person if a black person has committed the crime.....

'Youths' doesn't mean 'young men'. You're drawing an inference about gender based on the circumstances described. No doubt you are correct. But this shows the importance of considering why we choose to use particular words. Which I guess is the point being made by Meister.

Hmmm...

I suspect most people would agree that in common parlance, the word "youths" is almost always taken to mean young men. The phrase "young people" or indeed "teens" might be commonly taken to mean either or both sexes.

Can we just accept that on this occasion,as on most occasions when the term is used, youths means young men.


Well done Atticus - you live up to your moniker - a good man (I am assuming of course you are male - would hate to appear "genderist"!).

And I sincerely hope the woman who was attacked is recovering well and goes on to feel safe walking the streets of ED again.

We weren't looking for the female victim. She was lying on the pavement at the time.


If this post had been started to 'inform' the local residents of what happened, then perhaps you'd be right to point that out


However the purpose of the post was to find those arseh0les as soon as possible and while they were still in the area


So a description was given

So why did you say that "Surely if anyone saw anything three males attacking a female would be sufficient", then? Sounds like you made a pretty big assumption. Tut, tut.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
