  • MrsR changed the title to Peckham Rye Park Attack - August 22

I quote from the News Shopper

A post on social media network Nextdoor by someone who says they know the victim expands on their reported injuries.

This is not exactly first hand. The mET say

A 48-year-old man alleges he was injured

😮

Interesting wording by the Met. Do you have a link to that?

Are they just being very careful what they say, or are there any grounds to suspect the man wasn't telling the truth?

No, it was a man physically attacked in the woods in Peckham Rye park around 9pm one evening in the summer. 

Do you have a link to that other than what's already been posted? 

Mine came from linked story in the the News Shopper, an advertising dependent free sheet, quoting (social media) Next Door, an un-named person who supposedly knew the attacked person and the met who say they were called, don't mention any injuries and say "alleged".

The news was circulated on our local social media group - I don't know what is on standard media

This is horrible to hear about. We used to get daily Police patrols on foot & even regular patrols on horseback in the area. I know our local station had some bad eggs, but the officers I came across in the area back then were all a fantastic bunch. Sadly nowadays the Met's presence is non-existent, bar the weekly walk from the SNT.

I hope something gets done, arrests made and the victim some genuine support and counselling.

It would appear that

is offline   I wonder what it is

 

Sorry to be dim, but where has that link come from and why is it relevant to this thread?

I'm not doubting you, just wondering if I've missed something above!

the only known name is from that poster in the window where it says to email [email protected]. I thought that website might shed some light on who is creating the posters

I hope whoever was attacked is doing ok, but agree there is something very off/vigilante-ish about all of this

In response to Angelina & Sue's queries, it's being reported with an appeal for witnesses in the Southwark News this week, but just as cautiously & with no new information.

Why is it left to a friend of the victim to seek information?

There's something odd about the whole thing.

Why has it not been in the local press? Or has it?

Sounds a horrible, random attack, quite possibly for social media clicks, or some kind of sick initiation into goodness knows what - it is reported they were filming the incident. I do not really doubt that any of this is true. Perhaps the friend who reported it elsewhere does not want to be identifiable?

There has been an emerging issue with different types of anti-social teenage/ young adult behaviour on the Rye this summer and this latest incident indicates a tipping point into something much nastier. The park should be a safe and enjoyable space for all.

Yes, still odd.

Their information seems mostly to have come from the social media post referred to above.

And, as you say , reported "cautiously".

    • I have a warning from EE that they're undertaking work locally to me, I'm assuming the south end of Underhill, over the next 5 days so there may be a temporary reduction in service. Otherwise it's fine. In case you suddenly hear adverse comments, problems may only be short lived. 
    • For those of us in Forest Hill this is great news.  As well as a better connection to Clapham, a quicker route to Catford is very welcome, as we often use Catford stations a lot for the Thameslink and to go down to Bromley and Beckenham. A stop in Brixton would be welcome.  Yes we have the P4.  But have you ever used the P4?
    • Sophie, I have to thank you for bringing me squarely into 2025.  I was aware of 4G/5G USB dongles for single computers, and of being able to use smartphones for tethering 4G/5G, but hadn't realised that the four mobile networks were now providing home hub/routers, effectively mimicking the cabled broadband suppliers.  I'd personally stick to calling the mobile networks 4G/5G rather than wifi, so as not to confuse them with the wifi that we use within home or from external wifi hotspots. 4G/5G is a whole diffferent, wide-area set of  networks, and uses its own distinct wavebands. So, when you're saying wi-fi, I assume you're actually referring to the wide-area networks, and that it's not a matter of just having poor connections within your home local area network, or a router which is deficient.   If any doubt, the best test will be with a computer connected directly to the router by cable; possibly  trying different locations as well. Which really leaves me with only one maybe useful thing to say.  :) The Which pages at https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/broadband/article/what-is-broadband/what-is-4g-broadband-aUWwk1O9J0cW look pretty useful and informative. They include local area quality of coverage maps for the four providers (including 5G user reports I think) , where they say (and I guess it too is pretty common knowledge): Our survey of the best and worst UK mobile networks found that the most common issues mobile customers have are constantly poor phone signal and continuous brief network dropouts – and in fact no network in our survey received a five star rating for network reliability. 
    • 5G has a shorter range and is worse at penetrating obstacles between you and the cell tower, try logging into the router and knocking it back to 4G (LTE) You also need to establish if the problem is WiFi or cellular. Change the WiFi from 5GHz to 2.4GHz and you will get better WiFi coverage within your house If your WiFi is fine and moving to 4G doesn't help then you might be in a dead spot. There's lots of fibre deployed in East Dulwich
