In your scenario the "trained and licenced" security staff would have needed to have been in on it as well.

Or are you suggesting they were fake security guys as well?
In which case, why would the real security guys have allowed it?

Doesn't make much sense, does it?

They need to be involved so the security staff cover themselves. If it was a real attack they are witnesses to an assualt, under the law and according to their training they are obliged to report it to plod. Also should the attacker decided to try suing, some are dull enough to try, they have covered their own asses.

Security staff are quite often involved in publicity stunts to give an authentic air to the incident. Its not illegal. they simply pretend to save her, she gets her piccy in the papers and a bit of publicity, they get a few quid extra.

This is the woman who wanted to turn up riding a unicorn after all.
