Rocket + 6,403 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Mandem taken to task by a solitary police officer. These Wireless Festival Gatecrashers are getting out of hand! Gatecrashers vs 1 Police Officer Posted by Mandem On The Wall on Sunday, 5 July 2015 Kudos to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoppedreality + 279 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 As pointed out at Twitter, between 00:51 and 01:02, the gentleman in blue appears to be reaching for something in his pocket. I wonder what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what? People on social media saying its a knife, if true he needs dealing with. Luckily he gets pulled away by his mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoppedreality + 279 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 What on earth is going on there? People trying to break into Wireless festival through the outside fence. Security guards standing around, one PC actually doing something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie 2,084 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 In fairness quite a few security guards did get stuck in but they have no kit, no armour. Just a radio and a polo shirt so the PC with his baton was the only one that could do anything to clear some space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I glimpsed something long and straight... His mate seems pretty desperate to get him away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_101 6 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 This is why you do not bring Wireless festival to Finsbury Park. I predicted problems like this as soon as they announced they had moved there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB + 451 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 People on social media saying its a knife, if true he needs dealing with. Luckily he gets pulled away by his mate. Bullshire Police on FB have some blown up stills and it was reasonably certainly a knife and if it wasn't for his mate stopping them there would be possibly a seriously injured dead guard and police officer - the PC (understandably) didn't notice it and the knifeman got behind him at one point. It's a bad sign when you have a lone officer having to deal with this even in the normally highly resourced (compared to everywhere else) MP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growley + 2,436 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I've been to several events now where our briefing consisted of something along the lines of "we're here as a fallback only, they want to prove they can police their own events", only for it to swiftly get out of control because the stewards/security are completely ineffective once things become violent. I do wonder if something like that has happened here; it's the only reason I can think of that we'd have a solitary PC among a horde of security. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
