Police Incident outside Rose Fish/Parade East Dulwich Roas

[AWilk]

Does anyone happen to know why the police closed the road on Saturday night (6 or so police cars) outside the parade of shops on East Dulwich road?

Just created an account to ask the same.

A young girl ran out in the road and was hit by a bike according to a post on Facebook.

Rumours and digital rubbernecking aren't helpful.

They are if people want peace of mind and a place to oferr sympathies.

That's horrible, I hope she's ok.

When there is a large police presence near your home it's normal to wonder the reason for your own peace of mind. You can read it as digital rubbernecking, but it isn't.

I hope she and the rider of the bike are ok.

I feel its understandable that locals may be concerned when they see a road taped off and police presence.

Digital rubber necking ?  That's a meaningless phrase. The OP merely was seeking information.

Meaningless but you got the hump about it?

Busybodies and ghoulish people gossiping about serious incidents helps no-one.

How on earth do you equate people asking on a local forum  about police presence and road closure near their home with "busybodies and ghoulish people gossiping" , when they are asking because they don't know what has happened?

And why have you included  that link? Nobody has posted any photos on here.
