Police appeal: Monday, 25 August – Assault between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs

[NewWave]

I'm pretty sure I saw him today near the junction of Lordship Lane and Dulwich common standing by the crossing near the entrance to the woods.

Wearing a black trench coat , black trousers and dark timberland style boots his clothes looked somewhat worn and he was looking pretty wild eyed..I was in a car going by and I noticed him standing by the kerb looking somewhat aggrivated.

other women please be aware

@jazzer start a where are the police thread on the Lounge.

In response to this several police officers were hurt at the Tommy Robinson march event yesterday.  150 thousand marched in support of the convicted criminal Robinson, many who have violent criminal convictions themselves and would support violence in pursuit of their aims.

And our right wing and far right politicians, celebs and influencers have all encouraged this divide in our community.

Yes I have got political

What has Tommy twelve names got to do with the awful attack that happened in our community? It's a bit low of you to use such an awful incident to air your personal gripes.

He said there was no need to politicise the thread and then does the exact thing himself by derailing a serious subject.

To be fair, many people were posting off topic.

Might it be better to bring the thread back on topic rather than to continue discussing who derailed it/made it political etc etc?

I didn't say I hadn't also posted off topic.

Rather than making this thread political could people just realise that to the best of our knowledge this individual is still out and about in our neighbourhood.

please stay alert and hope he gets taken off of our streets sooner rather than after someone else gets hurt.

I was threatened at about 8.30am when heading to work one weirdly quiet morning a few weeks ago as I was crossing by Oliver bonas at the same time as the man. He was maybe late 40s dressed fairly scruffy but not in a stand out way. Unprovoked he said he would ‘knock me out’ and then kept pointing back at me to let me know he was watching me as he headed towards goose green roundabout. It really shook me up as there was no one else around. 
 

I am a woman in her late 30s

Abit hard for police to do anything as clearly he is out and about at all times… would help if one had a photo…even taken from afar.

Hoping as police are appealing for assistance you reported it..ie tried our local beat officers as opposed to central number and on line or leave message.

 

[hjt32]

Bean sprout, thank you for your concern…

Taking a photo would have put me in even more danger.

I have only just seen this appeal so I’ll try to figure out what day it was and will consider reporting it. 

[beansprout]

Wasn’t suggesting you took photo - Sod’s Law,no one was around!!! 

What I meant was others might have taken or indeed, might if spotted taken a photo.

Well as you are younger than me, hopefully can run faster! 

No matter what age, uncomfortable experience…

The area around Oliver Bonas is covered by the Goose Green SNT - I should report it to them- you can find their contact details on line.

Oh interesting. My only problem is I can’t remember the date… i didn’t write it down anywhere. 

[Pugwash]

I think you will find that if you can give an approximate idea e.g. August/September and a description of the man, that will give additional info for the police.

[beansprout]

Well you must have a vague idea - perhaps mentioned it to work colleagues? 

Must know within a month, two weeks ago?

Anyway, personally do report it - next time someone might be killed…

Up to you thou…

[Earl Aelfheah]

Terrible. I hope the victim is OK. 

[hjt32]

I have managed to work out the date to the best of my knowledge and have filed a report. 
 

The tone of the interactions here has reminded me why I had not been on EDF for so long. Too many people seem to spend their time on here to gain pleasure from being contrary, judgemental, accusatory and unkind.

Exactly that! it's why only the same old half dozen mostly left wing liberal types use this forum to argue amongst themselves, or relentlessly knock anyone who has a differing opinion on almost any subject!

Sad scramble  for the moral high ground.
keep this thread on topic

Rather misses the point to agree, and then instantly follow-up by pointing finger at "mostly left wing liberal types". So boring.

I agree fully with hjt32, reading through these days is exhausting and I'm put off contributing - nothing to do with particular wing/agenda, just a sneering undercurrent that I fear limits many of us less prominent members from engagement.  

[NewWave]

As a Left wing Liberal type I will continue to post on this thread so that the core content stays on peoples radar and this individual gets taken off the streets.

There was another unprovoked attack on Monday this week on a young woman nearby (Anstey Road) at 6.45pm.

Don't have any other details, it was posted on a Facebook group by her flatmate. Pretty worrying

Its worrying to know that months down the line this individual is still at large...

I don't want anyone to use my post as a chance to rant about the government, lawlessness etc etc It would be good however to see a post by the SNT to reassure myself and other women that this person is still on their radar.
