    A man has died after being attacked by a gang while he was treated in the back of an ambulance.

    The victim had been injured during a fight involving about 20 youths armed with baseball bats and a knife in Bounds Green Road, north London.

    He suffered a head injury and was in the back of the ambulance when several youths climbed in and assaulted him and one of the ambulance crew on Tuesday.

    Three men were arrested and are being questioned by officers.

    The ambulance worker did not suffer serious injuries and was able to treat the victim and call the police.

    The victim, believed to be aged 26, was taken to hospital, where police said he died at 2230 GMT on Wednesday.

    Scotland Yard said it is appealing for witnesses to the incident, which happened at about 2100 GMT.


    That's the full story but here's the link anyway.

    What the F*** is going on lately, one of my friends in Leicester got beaten up outside a take-away for no reason at all, he didn't know the people and almost had to have a metal plate inserted in his skull.
    I vote for Judge Dread style policing, shoot the f*****g scum in the head :grr:

    Amen, if you're not going to add to society and then you shouldn't be in society.

    Hmmm yah nearly happened to my friend aswell, but then that was another ****ing idiot starting a fight with him.

    I would've beat the crap out of that tough Korean crap , would've been easy but since I know he's in a gang called 14K and they have a lot of "backup".

    Seriously gangs in Hong Kong are sad, they come in numbers.

    There are just too many people everywhere who think they're tough and **** and are bored and just wanna start **** up for no reason.

    As for the story though you don't know the background behind the man attacked but still, while he was being treated ?

    what is going on recently - lots of people have got beaten up in edinburhg too reently - one of the guys in my flats got wasted by some ******s - did all sorts of damage, and i have heard other stories too.

    judge dread style policinbg wouldnt be uncalled for, but maybe they do it like in them middle eastern countries (or some) where they cut off fingers for your first offence (whatever it may be).

    The punishment is to have the right hand cut off, and that was for stealing. However, while most Sharia courts still hand out corporal punishments, they aren't as harsh or as random as people think. Public lashings are far more common then apmutations, and they are only used in rare or unsual cases. A jail sentance is the usual and prefered method. But, trust me, the jails here are no picnic. The true difference is the social stigma. All of your actions here reflect on your family, and have a direct impact on everything from getting a job to getting married. The social pressure to conform is incredible here. To curb speeding in young men, they started publishing thier names in the paper. It stopped virtualy overnight.

    What I think is most worrying is that in some places they won't pay for bullet/stab proof vests for paramedics. They provide them for the police though.

    I would think it's just as dangerous being a paramedic as you could be going to treat someone while there are people stabbing and shooting people. Police are more likely to stay away and call for backup. Also paramedics only come in 2's normally so they don't have any backup of their own.

    The worlds needs a large isolated island.... anyone committing a violent crime gets dumped on it, never to return. Let these people create their own society and leave us out of it. There was a movie based on that idea.. can't remember the name, but I really like the idea.

    Reminds me of Johnny English, that French Guy tries to make Britain a large jail, nice idea, but wish they wouldn't do it here... - The Azores? In the middle of the Atlantic, or Hawaii?

    Rebuild Hadrians wall and throw them all up there. That way because its fairly close to home we can send all the red coats up there hunting convicts instead of foxes.

    Kills two birds with one stone.

    Why waste one of our planets last undeveloped regions on criminals? Couldn't you find a place already polluted and ecologicaly damaged? The list is quite long and varied, I'm sure you could find something there to fit the bill. What about walling off Chernoble?

    You are all idiots, the movie was called "Escape from New York". with a second one called "Escape from LA". They turned Staten Island into a prison.

    Chill out bitch, we're not all massive films buffs. There's no need to get aggressive and abusive without provocation.
