South Norwood country park, basically open ground and a small lake/pond thing, but the hedge rows are 6 foot or so on one side.

well fortunately the bone is held together with so much metalwork it's probably the strongest part of me, hurts like hell, but I'd say it's stronger than bone alone, not sure on the donor ligaments though.

Bah scum.
Agree with the other guys, what the f*** has happened to our generation?

Sorry to hear this Mark, hope things get better soon.

Seems they are so used to it they are blasé about it

Sometimes what comes across as us being blase can be just that we feel like our hands are tied.

I try not to come across that way to people reporting crimes because even if I have seen it a million times, to the person infront of me, it's probably a huge deal, and the possibly the only time they will ever have had to report a crime. I will however, be straight with the person reporting if I think I will manage to get anyone as a result of the enquiry or not.

This whole thing is really sickening. Being only 22, I also feel ashamed of my generation. It is a disgrace. Unfortunately, the minority show us all up. Recently I was seconded to a plain clothes unit. I had on a pair of jeans, helly hansen jacket and hoody underneath my jacket. The jacket didnt have a hood and it was raiing so I pulled my jumpers hood out through and had it up.

I was doing door to door enquiries, the looks and hostility I got when people opened the door really shocked me. Even when I showed one woman my warrant card she didn't believe me, I had to produce my notebook and my radio as further proof. I was quite saddened by it but I totally understand why she felt that way.

Mark, I hope you are feeling a bit better about it all. Horrible experience for you to go through but like others said earlier, please don't let it get you down. You are not weak. It could happen to anyone of us, you have no defence from behind. *hugs*

Cant add anything that hasn't already been said Mark.

It's nothing to do with the leg, I got attacked by 3 guys in the street outside my house (you know where I am talking about).

Fortunatley they didnt hit me hard enough (I had already gone on the offensive as they had telegraphed (and emailed and texted) their intentions verbally before it kicked off.

So all I can say is that I hope the pain goes soon.

Oh and dont go watching Harry Brown...

Bloody hell, sorry to hear this Mark.

Absolute f******, hope the Knee heals or at least gets better and glad they didn't get away with anything more.
