There were quite a few police cars and an ambulance or two all surrounding a man that was laying on the grass with a dog standing guard over him. There seemed to be lots of police as they were trying to get the dog to move and allow them to get to the chap on the floor.


Anyone know if he was ok?

When I drove past at 8am there was no dog but the man was lying in the grass with lots of police and ambulance people nearby. I think he had been found there this morning, I'm guessing he had passed on as no one was trying to help him. Very sad, he didn't look that old to me.

Linz you are an arse......


The male had collapsed whilst walking his dog, LAS had attended and were attempting to treat the male but the dog was aggressive and started to attack them, the Police attended with a Police dog handler to remove the dog so the male could be treated.

Confusing picture here. From what I understand, a male was out walking his dog. He collapses. His pet dog, being a pack animal, wants to defend the owner from any harm. So the police attend scene and have dog removed so man can be treated. Why all this throw away misleading tabloid talk of dangerous dogs and a waste of resources? A man could potentially be very ill in hospital for all we know. Not impressed by the way some people on here take an sensitive thread such as this and take it off in a dubious direction. Any news on how the man and dog are doing? We're family informed? I hope he gets well soon.

Well said Louisa. To insinuate that the police were the ones that were to blame for the man to be laid out on the grass makes me sick. Clearly no understanding of the police service, their deployment & that they are here to assist the public. Nigello i suppose you would have also criticised the police had they only sent one officer, god forbid you or your family ever require assistance from the emergency services & they send far too many officers.... You plum

Indeed Tylertoes. The police and emergency services are damned if they do and damned if they don't. They don't have the easiest of jobs, and it's easy for a person hiding behind a computer screen to be critical of them in what is under any circumstances a very stressful and emotionally sensitive situation such as this. We do not know the outcome here, but we do know a man had collapsed and was in need of urgent medical attention. And to be frank, considering this is all a fresh situation and we are unaware of the mans health, this is hardly the place to be talking of the rights and wrongs of emergency service resources. I wonder how many of you brave outspoken people behind a computer screen would have the guts to say this to the poor man, his family, and indeed the brave police/ambulance staff who were selflessly trying to help him today. Shameful.

loads more

A list of names: each case very sad with circumstances entirely

different from the rest and a million miles away from the circumstance

that raised this debate.

I pity the mind that can judge thousands of uniformed men and women by

the actions of the few.

Thankfully, our Police Service has plenty of arm-chair experts like you,

with in-depth knowledge and specialist training to provide them with a

constant critique.

A dangerous, challenging job, which is soon to pay peanuts. We can now

add thankless to that list.

Loads more to come.

Tylertoes what's with the attitude? You don't like what someone has said interpreting their comments in your own way, they were not being offensive to you yet you then respond with name calling and pointless/pathetic sarcastic comments.


back on topic - it would be nice if this thread contained actual fact on what happened rather than gossip and chinese whispers... hmmm hoping for way to much I guess!

Tylertoes - slow down and think before you start throwing the insults about. This wasn't a pop at the police in any way - nor was it to say there was any blame.


If you were passing the spot at the time (which I did) you would have agreed that it looked a lot more like an 'operation' than a callout for a collapsed man. Bearing in mind there was a fatal stabbing in Lewisham this week, it could easily have been a swoop on a suspect. Now I have more information I know that wasn't the case.

I think that Louisa's sentence 'The police and emergency services are damned if they do and damned if they don't' just about sums up the attitudes of people in this country. The police are dealing with scum and the victims of crime all day every day- must be miserable and not a job I would like to do these days, mainly because of the negative accusatory attitude they have to put up with from some of the general public on top of all the criminals. The lefties are making a very good job of undermining law and order in the UK.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
