I’ve heard enough stories like this to find it plausible. Businessman who grabbed a thug for smashing a window is charged with assault:
Mr Kink was sitting in his wife’s town centre bar in Weymouth, Dorset, when he heard a security alarm go off.He went outside and confronted two men stood near to the Phone Zone store which had a smashed window.
Mr Kink, who is registered disabled following a motorcycle accident 20 years ago, said he was met with a volley of abuse from the pair before being hit.
He said: ‘”I accused one of them of smashing the window and he said “‘what the f*** has it got to do with you?”
‘He then took a swing at me and punched me just under my left eye. I grabbed hold of him and managed to sweep one of his legs from under him and I held him there by putting the toe of my shoe on his shoulder blade.
‘There were lots of other people around at this stage and somebody had hold of the other bloke he was with. When the police arrived I stepped back and he kicked off at them. When he was put in the police car he tried to kick in the windows.’
A few days later police turned up at Mr Kink’s home. ‘There were three police officers and a dog handler there. They told me I was being arrested for assault,’ he said.
Just one more example of Britain slowly destroying itself, I suppose.
