Rich was attacked and had his head stamped on by 2 kids.

They threatened him on the bus the day before and he saw them the next day on the bus.

He not thinking straight and took the bus ID off one of the kids and whilst doing so got him in a headlock.

The Police said this was assault and theft.

The kids chased him down and called friends to join in.

They stamped on his head and punched and kicked him to the ground.

He had grit in his head and he had a seizure.

The police has said he needs to write a letter of apology to the kid he took the bus pass off.

He was part of the group and was bragging about it on FB and the local paper picked up the story.

These kids will have to do community service.

A more detailed version is below.

I don't feel he should write a letter of apology and I think these kids should have something on their record saying they hunted down a disabled man who couldn't walk and stamped on his head.

Monday 26th at 6pm Richard phoned me at work to say he was threaten and is worried and didn't know what to do.

He said 2 girls and 2 boys were there and they had kicked his sandwich and put their feet on his seat.

There was one behind him and one in front of him.

One of them stared at him and said he was going to cut him, "I will kill you" "I'll cut you from here to here" "I'm gonna stab you".

They kicked his seat and were threatening.

He said he stared back as he was worried they would attack him if he turned away.

He said he had just come out of hospital and isn't well.

He heard another passenger say leave him alone he isn't well.

He said he told them it is on CCTV.

But they didn't care.

He got off the bus at Stanmer Villas which is a stop earlier than he normally gets off as he didn't want them following him to his 4 year old daughters school.

I contacted the Bus company who advised me to contact the Police which I did.

They call me back the next day crime reference 47170090324.

They advised they would take a look at CCTV.

Tuesday 27th. Richard was with me till 1pm at Portland Road Hove.

I had to take my son to Water Babies so he left.

I got a call from Richards wife to say Richard was missing and something had happened on the bus.

I immediately drove to Hollingdean phoning the Police on the way.

My girlfriend contacted the Bus company.

I arrived at Surestart and heard kids laughing about an ambulance in Roedale Road and "it was kicking off".

Then my girlfriend called me to say he had been found in Roedale Road.

I drove down and saw Richard in an ambulance he was having a seizure and was unable to control his movements.

Due to the Huntingtons Disease, stress exacerbates the condition.

Richards movements are usually unstable but under stress he can't control his movements.

Please speak to the officers who dealt with him and escorted us to the hospital.

They will confirm this.

Richard told me he had seen the boys who verbally assaulted him and tried to get off the bus.

He saw one had a bus pass and made a grab for it for ID for the Police.

He tried to run away and got to the Surestart Centre but accidentally went through a wrong door and ended up outside.

He ran away but three of them saw him and chased him.

He tried to barricade himself behind a gate in someones garden.

But they caught him.

He said he remembers being punched and kicked and they were laughing calling other people on their phones.

Then he can't remember anything until the hospital.

My Mum was attacked in a park as people thought she was drunk ( she had Huntingtons )

my other brother Andrew was attacked in BP Petrol Station,

he also went back in after being attacked to get the Taxi drivers ID badge who attacked him so the Police could identify him.

I would be logical and think that is a risk and you would get ID from CCTV but Huntingtons affects how you think.

Huntingtons is a horrible disease.

My brother is worried about picking up his daughter and doesn't want to be scared to walk around.

He isn't allowed to drive and buses are the only way he can get around.

He doesn't claim any benefits and you can speak with the ladies at the Surestart Centre and his daughters school

- he is a nicest person ever.

Prob repeating myself but here is more information.

Since this the kid said he was attacked by Rich.

The Police said Rich took his bus pass and got him in a head lock before running away.

This is considered theft and assault.

He was part of the group that attacked him on the Monday but wasn't the actual one that threatened him.

I tried to explain he was trying to identify them as the Police and bus company weren't interested.

The police said he needs to come to the custody centre and be questioned.

I went to the custody centre and police station and begged them to speak with the officers when he was attacked as it put him in a seizure and this wouldn't end well.

They wouldn't take any notice and so we went to the custody centre.

He got so anxious he couldn't stand and it took another two police officers to help hold him still.

The senior officer said get a wheelchair he has to come in even though he couldn't walk or sit and was all over the place.

It took another 2 people to hold him in the wheelchair and try and wheel him into the police custody.

He fell out in the hallway and the Sargent said this is a custody centre he can't do this here (have a seizure)

he said get him home or to a hospital.

The officer helping called an ambulance.

And your question/point is?

The Police want him to apologise and to give money to a charity of their choice with no record for the kids. I would think they should be worried about kids who think there actions were warranted

You need to speak to a solicitor about this. That would be the best advice to give. Especially as the police sound pretty Inept
