838 violent incidents in 107 days on London buses
The scale of violence on London's buses is revealed today. An average
of eight crimes such as stabbings, sexual assaults and beatings are reported each day - as well as 160 cases of criminal damage, fights, fare disputes and drunken clashes. Documents seen by the Evening Standard show an increasing use of knives and the involvement of teenagers. There is an upsurge of disturbances between 3pm and 5pm as pupils go home from school. All pupils and students under 18 travel free on London buses. But violent crime is happening at all times of the day - even during the rush hour. The figures come after Mayor Boris Johnson promised to increase the presence of uniformed police and police community support officers on buses. Internal TfL documents detail every "code red", when bus controllers at TfL's CentreComm are told by drivers or members of the public of crime, vandalism and disorder. In 107 days this year 838 violent incidents were recorded, along with hundreds more incidents of disturbance and criminal damage. These included: • Six youths in Barking on board a No287 stabbing a 25-year-old man in the head at 7pm. • A driver was stabbed in the head and arms by two youths wearing hoods on the N369 in Barking at 2.31am. • A 40-year-old man being attacked by eight youths on a No 18 bus and stabbed in the head in Hillside, Stonebridge Park. • 15-year-old girl threatening a 16-year-old boy with a kitchen knife on the HA4 in west London at 11am. • The driver of a No199 being threatened with a knife by youths demanding money after they opened the emergency doors at Canada Water station at 11.32am. • A driver on the No31 in Maida Hill chased off his bus by a gang of youths, at least one of whom had a knife, at around 10pm. • A gang of four youths hitting a 65-year-old woman on the back of the head on the 177 in Greenwich at 8.23pm. • More than 20 youths assaulting a man and woman on a No 337 bus in Putney at 4.17pm. • Ten youths attacking a 20-year-old man on the No174 in Romford at 11pm. • Four boys with a dog attacking a man on a 436 in Peckham High Street at 2.54pm. The reports shows bus drivers are often in the line of fire with passengers hurling food, cans and other missiles at them. There are instances where drivers have been sprayed with fire extinguishers and CS gas. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standa...ses/article.do As you can see from the London Evening Standard report no immigrants were involved in any of the incidents.

Nice. Agreed, except for "menacingly". "In a pathetic attempt to appear menacing", perhaps. (also "boy" rather than "man" is probably more apt). -- John Band john at johnband dot org www.johnband.org |

Nice. Either shops are refusing to sell headphones to teenagers or they do it on purpose just to **** everyone off or hoping for a argument so they can prove themselves to their mates. My guess is the latter. B2003 |

Nice. Blimey! They get around! His brother and a mate were doing that at the back of an M48 bus in Berlin the other day! (Except that they were saying "Scheisse" and "Arschloch" instead of "fock, fock") All they wants is rispek, innit? Keith (formerly of Bristol UK) now moved to Berlin/nach Berlin umgezogen |
