Man attacked at George Street tram stop
A MAN was violently attacked at George Street tram stop in Croydon town centre last Tuesday (June 26).

There was some pushing and shoving between the pair, a BTP spokesman said, and then one attacked the other, punching him around the head and body and then headbutting him.
The victim, a 48-year-old man from Croydon, was left with serious bruising and swelling to his face. The assault also knocked out two of his teeth.

“The attacked man has chosen not to report the incident and has not made a complaint.
Surely the police can claim they are not involved - same as the case of the donkey?”
