would you step in?

There aren't very many words to describe that story! Wow.

Let's hope he recovers soon!
 
That is very off-putting but i think instinct would probably take over and i'd try my best to help, although in that situation someone of my size and stature wouldnt have been much help (im 5 ft 3, 8 stone and stick thin with typical girly strength)
 
I take it that the two attackers were Impreza drivers then? :D

Lucky, brave (and a bit daft) guy. Nothing wrong with piling in to help, just check out the lie of the land first.
 
Macheted and shot! stop moaning you wuss......

Dunno if this whole thing is a level or not.
 
Holy crap.

Hard to know what I'd do without being there, but I don't think I'd be able to stop myself piling in in exactly the same way tbh. That slash wound is just bonkers.
 
so i decided to walk back through the park to my car so i could drive home.

I had a couple of beers and felt a little merry

I intentionally avoided that little snippet, and yeah, quite
 
I did once, ended up getting stabbed and a bottle smashed over my head. The moral is never to say to the attacker "why don't you pick on someone your own size?" :bang: :lol:
 
My son went to help a lady that had been attacked in the street and was helping her when the police turned up and accused him of the attack. if it wasn't for passers by and the lady herself saying that he was actually helping her he would have been arrested .

Unfortunately it doesn't pay to help anyone in trouble I hate to say. The risk of being knifed/injured/wrongfully accussed is too high.

Realspeed
 
hubby tried to help a lady being attacked by her husband. Yeah like he will do that again. Not.....
 
Alot of respect for the guy, takes lots of man bits to do what he did, as much as i would say i would do the same, when it came down to it, i would possibly bottle it.
However saying he was going back to get his car after a few beers i don't agree with, he may have had an accident and killed some innocent people, by the sounds of it, its normal have beer and drive home, do hope the police see his thread and wait for him to drink and drive again.
 
Age old dilemma and by the sounds of it, this case wasn't very far from being a story we'd hear on the news about a would be hero/saviour who had been killed.

Very Very difficult scenario, as a decent person you'd like to think that you'd help anyone who needed it but the reality is that you probably stand a good chance of being seriously harmed yourself.

From a purely selfish point of view, putting yourself on the line for a complete stranger could deprive your own family members...... In the original scenario a possible outcome was they the attackers could have killed both of them.

Terri, one of my uncles warned me about getting involved with "domestics", he saw a woman getting a good beating from her hubby/bf stepped in and then got attacked by the bloke AND the woman he was trying to help :shrug:

Yeah, me too ... can't be sure, but that body dressing with the X tape looks odd to me and even the scar seems a bit strange.

Yep.. exactly.. broken and dislocated shoulder for his trouble. lesson learnt.
 
Really .. that much damage and he is out already? .. call me a cynic but if you have been shot .. he woke mid surgery ... wow ... drove his car after ... impressive ... the family bought him new clothes ... so no one from home brought any in ... hmmmm ... could be true .. but ...

Would I step in yes ... have done in the past, would do in the future.
 
theres a blurred area on the end of the scar on the neck photoshop?

i zoomed in 400% on my browser
 
I hope he's not making it up...sort of sick...

I don't know many blokes that wouldn't jump in if they saw a woman being attacked. Having said that, getting sliced and shot for your trouble must blow slightly
 
sampphire i looked on google news nothing i even looked on the police website for the area nothing no appeals
 
slashed and shot on late Saturday night yet on your feet and home taking pics tuesday afternoon:thinking:

that aside I would jump in but in that situation my first option would have been to shouted 'oiii' and then 'police help police help police help' whilst dialing 999 and then once connected let them know where I am and what is happening... I would think with all that noise they would just bolt.

After giving it some more thought, I came to the same conclusions as you with regards to the details of the alleged incident and my reaction to seeing it happen.

I also thought that given the weapons these people had, they'd have probably attempted to kill the woman too. You also have to ask what a married mother of 2 was doing in a park, on her own at that time of night.

The whole thing's got a bit of a fishy odour to it now IMVHO......
 
Actually..... Just giving it a little more thought.... Would a woman that was on the verge of being raped and/or murdered return to the scene a day or so later to pick up her saviour's car????

This "story" has more holes than a colander :thinking:

He also ignored medical advice and drove afterr being told not to.

Would I have got involved? well, 999 is an easy number to remember.
 
It's complete Billy BS having looked at it again - I only scanned the thread last night.

Apart from what has been posted on the other site already, the following also weighs against him:

The knife scar is too regular and too well healed for 3 days post trauma with no sign of stitching.
There is no deviation where the blade hits the clavicle.
The guy is up and walking 3 days after a major GSW.


But forgetting what looks like a crayoned knife scar the GSW injury is the biggest give away.

A shot passing through the body in that location would either take out the liver, kidney or at the very least part of the colon, none of which are 'get up and walk away afterwards' incidents. The surgeon's entry point wouldn't be keyhole as the tract of the wound would need to be fully investigated and debrided. A mate of mine had an Afghan 7.62 through his outer thigh and was opened up from pelvis to knee.

However the biggest give away is the bloke's own vanity - he's forgotten to shave off his body hair!! :lol:

As a rough diagnosis, and given his previous posts on that forum, I'd say that this bloke was either a serial Walter Mitty, or more seriously suffering from Münchausen syndrome.
 
Regardless of whether this happened or not - I would like to think I would still do something in similar circumstances.

for the record this story comes via a friend who knows the guy and he's legit.

Sorry Neil, it isn't. The medical facts alone don't weigh up, and that's leaving aside the lack of chatter from various police and press sources.

If the Sun is already on to this, his days as a story teller are numbered.
 
Hmm, very strange indeed...

Firstly iF it's true - this guy is my hero. I'd love to think I'd have the balls to do what he did, but you just don't know until it happens.

Sadly, the wound on his chest and neck is entirely inconsistent with a slash from a machete. It's too irregular and tentative - typical of self inflicted injuries I've seen by people with issues. It looks no more than a very deep scratch wound - hence no stitches being required.

This incident involves a woman walking through a park and subjected to an attempted rape by two armed men. The attack on this guy alone amounts to attempted murder! I can't believe the police wouldn't be publicising this incident to people in the area in view of the threat to others. They'd almost certainly be running a dedicated incident room for an incident of this seriousness, yet the police are reporting no record of this incident whatsoever,

I fear this guy will be exposed as a fraud with some personal issues, but I'll be the first to eat crow if I'm wrong.

I only scanned through the post myself and didn't really look closely timeframe (or the pic tbh), but I'd tend to :agree: the body hair is the biggest give away though, no surgeon is going to operate on a gsw or large knife wound without the the body hair being removed from that area first.

Having said that, the guy seems to heal pretty quickly, so maybe his hair grew back overnight too :lol:
 
I have a 8-10 inch gash from my surgery on my back and its still slightly red and swollen 6 months on.. This guy must heal real quick!! A week after it was very red, very swollen and still not very scabby.


**sniff sniff, whats that smell? Smells a bit like cow dung**

fair enough, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. i dont know the guy personally.

there is a lot of call for further proof going around on the internet so we'll see what comes out in the wash.

if true though, it is an unsettling reminder what some people carry around on their person.
