Our 16 year old student mugged by Portslade station last night 9pm

[Triggaaar]

We have a 16 year old foreign student staying with us, who was near his friends house, on Boundary road last night when he was mugged by a few young men.

He's fine. Afterwards he asked a passer by to call the police, who refused, and then he went in to the Arabic food shop (corner of Portland rd) and asked them to call the police, and they told him to **** off. Nice.

He eventually got hold of the police by flagging down a passing police car. He gave them all the details, but they haven't given him a report number, presumably they should have. I've like to call them and check they've got a record of the crime etc.

Is it not a duty of citizens here to call the police when someone asks?

Really shocking nobody offered to help

Totally agree. What is wrong with people these days.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Disgraceful.

 

[bhanutz]

Thats Portslade for you!

 

[GreersElbow]

State of the world unfortunately. No one's got enough time for one another. I hope the lad's alright, it's a poor representation of our country but I'm not particularly surprised.

 

[Weststander]

It's noticeable that foreign students tend to stay together in large groups. I'm not surprised with vermin like the muggers about.

Shame on those not helping him.

This.

Shameful behaviour. What's wrong with some people? I hope he's ok.

Shameful behaviour. Hope he's ok and doesn't think everyone here is a **** (both the muggers and those that refused to help are)

I hope he is OK Trig.
Unbelievable people not helping with something as simple as making a phone call.

Legally, my guess would be probably not, but morally the duty is crystal clear. The scumbags who refused to help really need to have a good look at themselves. Hope your visitor is OK, and enjoys the rest of their time here.

agreed. Those muggers have little else in their crappy lives and who knows, the drugs they buy with their ill gotten gains might finish them off.

Without going too off point, this is precisely why drugs should be made legal and sold by pharmacies. It would stop users committing crime to feed their habit and would also stop crime perpetrated by dealers.

They should have a crime reference number if they did things by the book which they should have. There's also some cctv cameras at Portslade station which sometimes look down boundary road. The last cctv footage of Janet Muller the german student who absconded from Mill View who was then abducted by her boyfriend and set on fire in Crawley was filmed at Portslade Station and down Boundary Road. Whereabouts in Boundary did it happen? You need to ask permission to check it or have it checked before its wiped. Even if the mugging isn't on cctv the perpetrators might be. I have personal experience of trying to help a girl who was being stalked get hold of cctv footage from that location. The police were useless and were really unhelpful. I'd already told the girl to bypass the police and contact the cctv operators directly but with her delaying and waiting for the police to do something, by the time she contacted the company directly the tapes had been wiped. The phone number is written under the camera which is privately run. The other tall one might be council run. There's a few round there some owned by the railway some by the council. There's also one in the subway. Look at the link of the Janet Muller report and it shows you where some of the cctv footage covers

Not surprised by the Food store you mentioned,struggle to drag a please or thank you out those arrogant shithouses whenever I go in there.
Hope your student is ok and hasn't been left with a bad memory of his stay.

I'd get on to this [MENTION=4019]Triggaaar[/MENTION]

Two words coming from this thread 'shameful behaviour'. For that is what it was.

I hate to hear of muggings but it seems worse when someone is a guest in this country- especially when no-one wants to know.

Stronger together? Nah people are w***ers unfortunately! Hope the kids ok

Bloody awful, what a great shame on those who did this.

What sort of **** refuses to call the police for someone, when they've been the victim of a crime? Unbelievable thundercuntery.
