Croydon/girl punches 87yr old lady on bus...
 

A teenage girl has been caught on CCTV punching an 87-year-old woman in the face on a bus in Croydon.

The woman suffered a black eye after being punched by one of two teenagers who had boarded the Route 166 bus without paying, the Metropolitan Police said.

Most of the passengers left the bus after the girls began arguing with the driver and the elderly victim can be seen on CCTV standing next to the pair before the attack, at around 3.20pm on Friday October 16.

Both girls, described as black and aged between 14 and 18, ran away from the bus in Brighton Road, Coulston.

Another woman passenger came to the aid of the victim, who was taken to St Helier Hospital and discharged later the same day.

Police sergeant Arran Hillier, from the Croydon Safer Transport Team, said: "This was a nasty attack on an elderly woman, who just wanted to get home. I urge anyone who may recognise the suspects to contact the police."

Good clear photo, terrible crime. Hopefully they will be recognised and reported.
A pair of charmers, their parents will hopefully be ashamed of them.

Disgusting. I hope they are recognized and severely punished.

Horrific that this pair of teenagers are so poor that they have not got bus fare. I hope for their sake that they are soon caught so that they can be given their Conditional Discharge plus a couple of hundred pounds each out of the poor box and also assigned a Social Worker each so that as much financial help as possible can be showered upon these poor mites.

The old woman should also be charged with attacking the poor girl's fist with her eye orbit.

The two girls will soon be apologetic if they get caught.

What disgusting human beings they are

how did they get away???, i would have just snatched her by that ridiculous hair and held on til the cops got there.

tip to anyone dealing with violent women, grab them by the hair and don't let go.

Obviously a bus full of cowards Alex.

Just WHAT has the fact that they were Black got to do with anything? This article is racist.

****ing disgusting cowardly bitch, obviously all violent crimes are awful, it's just so sickening when it's on the most vulnerable members of our society though, like the elderly, disabled or children.

Aren't they just giving a description of the girls so they might be caught easier?

:worship:

It's apart of their appearance so it will be described to people so that they can come forward to The Police and grass them up.

It's honestly no different when White or Asian people commit a crime.

Yeah, I was being a bit sarcastic Niamh. :blush: The bastards can't be caught quickly enough for me.

Tramps

Sarcastic or trying to taking the piss out of members who point out things that they think are racist? Not one person disagreed with the girls colour being mentioned as a description (in a serious manner anyway) doesn't that prove that maybe these people who point out what they see as discrimination might not be as hysterical as you're trying to make them sound?

I doubt she will have both parents..

Evil picking on the Old

Gross. Just can't comprehend it at all. If I imagine that was my grandma it actually makes me feel sick with anger. That poor woman. I know it wasn't a massively violent crime but it's something that will likely stick with her now and make her afraid to go out. And if these girls are under 18, they're not going to face much of a punishment. If anything, they're probably bragging that they're "famous on youtube"!

I wasn't taking the piss out of anybody.

I just think that this article proves that sometimes mentioning colour, race or nationality is merely being factual and not always 'racist' or 'xenophobic'.

But, hey - I do not relish more of the bilious backlash my factual comments incited on the other thread, so I'll just bow out - if that's Ok?

It's perfectly fine if you want to bow out but since you've made a point here, I think I should be allowed to respond to that before I bow out also

I can't see how you can compare this article which is simply describing the criminal and your post in the last thread which was basically assuming that most crimes are committed by foreign nationals. Also, the last article made reference to the persons appearance/skin colour too and not a single person in that thread had a problem with that.

Wow that's awful, hope they are caught.

Imagine living in Croydon?

:umm2:

..they have got extremely clear CCTV close ups of the girls/I don't know if that vid shows that, but I don't think that the police will have any problems in finding out who they are../the one that hit the lady...

Using a disgusting attack by two teenagers on an elderly woman to sarcastically make a personal point
