Hi Tom, I'm sorry to hear about this mate, the fact that you guys have got to wear armour for precisely this reason makes me sick. Twenty minutes restraining someone is completely knackering having been there on more than a few occasions I know what it feels like! Re the lack of Police response, as you know us guys on the ground treat LAS requests as urgently as coming from our own people, although on nights when we run out of units the requests do go out Met-wide, we've had quite a few blats from central London out to Romford, Morden, bexleyheath etc to try and help you guys out purely because the locals ran out. Not good especially as 30 seconds is a long time in a fight let alone 10-15 minutes with someone getting stronger with every second as the adrenaline kicks in. Hope you're back up and about in one piece soon
