Area: Dulwich Wood Park / Paxton Green

Time/Date: c. 10-10am Tue 3rd Jan

Age/Gender: 20-ish/male


While this is marginally out of the ED area, this individual will be transient.


He approached a woman who had pulled up and parked on a side road. He ran up to the drivers window screaming for her to get out brandisihg a chisle like weapon. Unsuccessful, he walked to the nearest bus stop and took a bus.


** Police **

From 999 to the team turning up, 'MD' Soutwark Police, excellent and clear communication with support. Great guys!


Specific details have not been included for good reason.

Yeah you've got a point, I mean why even include age or gender in the description


Just 'screaming chisel wielding person' would have sufficed

Yes I suppose a description of the person is way too much of a giveaway. It takes the intrigue out of it if you know what you're looking for


I can see it now on crime watch "Did you see a Male with a chisel and an Oyster card"


Seriously, this is lame. What did the man with the chisel actually look like?


Simple question, or was he in disguise?

This is about the 'what happened'.


Discriptions are in the hands of the police. Male and 20-ish are purely indicators. Remember 'chisel-like'. its neither a 'chisel' nor a 'like'.


Nay over estimate nor query, just get the event.



You have all been remarkably astute!

"This is about the 'what happened'. "


It's also about people being aware. For their safety, which I consider fairly important.


If not for a good bit of gossip, the purpose of this thread is to make people aware, alert and vigilant, so that they can stay safe, and perhaps report possible suspects (Although obviously that is less relevant now.)


The point is, providing a better description would help keep people safer and make the guy more likely to meet justice.


Perhaps I'm wrong, and there is legitimate "good reason" not to describe them, in which case that's acceptable.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
