Sorry to hear what happened Pete. You probably thought that you were doing the right thing at the time but, on reflection, the situation would have turned out better if you'd got into your car and called 999.
Despite the reputation the police have for tardiness, they usually get there pretty quick in a situation such as this one. That way, there would have been a good chance that these cowards would have been nicked and if the black lad had got a thump in the mean time, well, he wouldn't queue jump again would he?

If you think there's a chance that your injuries could make you miss work, or spoil your handsome good looks, get it reported. You will be able to claim criminal injuries compensation.

Hope it's not too painful. Next time, think of your wife and kids and break all the have-a-goers, look after yourself.

My neighbours are Indian and really very nice and tolerant people...

This morning at 4am we were woken by some lads shouting and some stones hitting our little girls bedroom window...

Look out the window and they are 2 or 3 drunken lads throwing stones at one of our neighbours as hes coming down the drive on his way back from work...were not talking stone chips either but a good inch or so in size pieces...not sure if the fact some of the stones were hitting our upstairs windows means it they were particularly bad shots but thankfully a loud knock by me on our bedroom window and opening it (was just about to shout at the lads) and they backed off and went off on their way...

Shouting some racist abuse at the poor guy as they left...

There are some total a*seholes out there...

All I can say mate is good for you. It takes guts to stand up for what you believe to be right . Doubtless you didnt even think about it at the time and Im sure Im not the only one on here who has got involved in similar situations and only afterwards thought about the possible consequences. Cant blame you for not wanting to take it further in case it escalates and puts you and yours at risk but the important thing is that you didnt just walk on by and stood up against the scrotes. As others have urged though, best get yourself down to A/E and get youself checked over. Hope you recover soon. Best wishes

sounds like a normal day in newport to me!

nah in all fairness thats preety harsh bloody muppets you certainly didnt deserve what they done!

where abouts in newport was it bud?

[waspy]

I really hope you're ok Pete. I know exactly what you felt & the guilt would've eaten away at you for a long time. Ok you got some pain, but it will be short lived.

You did the right thing mate, you really did. Hold your head high

If it was all on the forecourt the garage assistant by law should have contacted at least his head office, who would have contacted the police anyway, any criminal offence occuring on a petrol forecourt, being it driving off without paying to causing a dangerous act (i.e smoking while filling, using phone etc) as it would bring the garage name into disrepute. In other words, if the garage has done its job, they should have reported it, basically in any fact just to clear themselves of any neglect or wrong doing. If you speak to the manager tomorrow and get the crime ref number as you are entitled to it being that you were involved, you can go from there, its the same principal for all main registered companys nowadays so I believe   Hope your ok mate and good lad for helping out, it doesnt matter what colour, age, religious belief or car you drive, a polite word is enough to get most people where they belong, not a good kicking!

[Ghost]

GOOD ON YOU LAD  Very dangerous thing to do but it takes guts and youve got them. RESPECT. wish more people would act a bit more than just walk on by, get down to the docs and get well soon,

Pete - was this at the shell garage, on the Chepstow Rd?

So next time you post something that annoys me, i've got carte blanche to kick the shit out of you  :question - game on!
P.S. Post your address to save me some time  

[BigAl]

but i could not standby and watch this Jamacian lad suffer abuse and assult of this kind and i would do it again.
Whats happening out there i wonder

You're title is wrong - you're pride is not dented , but enhanced  - you did the right thing, at physical cost to yourself - you knew the risk but still stood up to defend the victim.
I hope when confronted by a similar situation, I respond as as well as you did

Glad you are ok..

You did the right thing although came with a high cost

and believe me its better to have pain when you face moments that

you cant avoid..

Well done


ps: for those times keep a baseball bat under your chair

But keep a baseball with it else it could be classed as an offensive weapon

Personally I would still inform the police, even if it was just to record the incident and get a crime number! At least then the police will be aware of the incident and even if the 4 attackers are not prosecuted the police will know who they are for the next time they do something similar!

1 to 4 is not a gentlemens style.. For those times I keep a half meter iron material under my chair.. in case they are crowded its better they die instead of me..

I dont care its offensive or not I have lived a very bad similiar situation and the reason I can write those words is I was lucky they dont had knifes..
