What the hells going on in Droylsden? And what do the police propose to do about it? Turn up hours after the event, dis-interested and only there to take a statement and give out a crime number probably? Surely not?!
I live round the corner from where this poor bloke got attacked and whilst its not the nicest place in the world its pretty hard to swallow something like this going on.
My sympathies and prayers to both him and his family during this difficult time.
