Victim needed emergency surgery after Derby Road assault
12:30pm Saturday 17th March 2012 in Crime
By Jon Reeve, Education Reporter
Police at the scene of the attack in Derby Road
A MAN is fighting for life in hospital after a vicious assault left him with a fractured skull.
The 42-year-old victim is in intensive care having undergone emergency surgery to ease bleeding on his brain in two places caused by his horrific injuries, which police said were “potentially life-threatening”.
Detectives were last night hunting for the attacker, who calmly walked off leaving his victim lying on the ground.
Police said they believe the victim was hit in the attack in Derby Road, Southampton, near its junction with Clovelly Road, and fell to the ground.
Horrified onlookers rushed to the stricken man’s aid.
He was sitting up when police arrived, but his condition deteriorated and he was taken by ambulance to Southampton General Hospital for emergency treatment to three fractures of his skull.
His attacker is thought to have left the scene heading towards Northam Road.
Police cordoned off part of Derby Road to allow specialists to examine the scene for possible forensic clues.
Police said they believe the man responsible could be Russian. He is described as being in his 20s, about 5ft 7in and of skinny build. He had “fairly long” blond hair and it is believed he spoke Russian.
Detectives last night appealed for anyone who knows the attacker or who saw the incident to come forward. Anyone with information should call Shirley CID on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

There is no reason why we can not process each entry in and allow the decent people who are willing to contribute and enhance our country and those who are not willing to embrace us should not be allowed in and we should look at the traitors who are here and get rid of these as well.
Because unfortunately 90% of these types of incident are carried out by residents of this country but people like you only tend to comment on it when our "guests" are involved. Perhaps a blinkered view to avoid the reality of how this country is or does it just make you feel better?

And for those who really don't like Eastern Europeans, may I just remind you that in 1945 we actually had a far larger number of Poles come to live in Britain than we have had since 'the wall' came down.

I had to go to Shirley last night with my son & there was big Polish chap getting all confrontational & downright rude in the Mcdonalds & demanding free fries after he didn't like what he had just eaten (ate them all though). The poor girl behind the counter was so intimidated that she just let him have the food for free in the end!!
We (Greedy Tony Blair that is) have let all the useless t0ssers in with the good ones & unfortunately we seem to have been left with the bad ones cause the good ones didn't even want to stay here with them.
But that said you mustn't say anything against immigrants cause you will be tagged a racist.....be careful Thomasupton, you are not aloud to say what people don't want to hear ;)

It is in their mongrel DNA to regard themselves as whiter-than-white, entitled by birthright to spout and pout their ridiculous false sense of superiority and spew bile at any vague opportunity.
Fascism will always be a magnet attracting the dumb, the stupid, the brainless and the myopic.

How about we deport the council estate british and bring in more polish. That would decrease crime!

To be honest, a lot of the problems are from the deadbeat working class scum british, not the hard working polish.

Problem is the British don't like admitting the truth. The problem with deporting them would be stopping them from getting back in, because the East European police and authorities will put the fear of life in them. As soon as they step out of line and get a taste of ex-Soviet prisons life , they'll soon become suicidal anyway, job done.

Let's upset the PC Crowd a tad.
On this page, an ethnic breakdown of homicide stats in England and Wales is available:

From this page onwards you can see the horrific effect that immigration (including that from Eastern Europe) has had upon the indigenous Brit:

I wish the fair-minded well with their studies. As for the PC Crowd, they aren't interested in study, theirs or yours. The most fervent wish of the bad guys is that the majority do not learn anything that might give them a greater insight into what has really been happening in their country over the course of the last sixty years.
The bloke who wishes to deport "the council estate British" is at war with them. A political and media establishment that routinely puts the foreigner first in Britain is at war with the British.
Check out the links and sharpen your pitchforks, folks. The Brit-loathing sneerers in this forum need a little encouragement, methinks.

The punishment in this country for violent attacks is laughable!
My advice to all good citizens: Carry a taser or high powered pepper spray to keep the flies off you! Protect yourselves firstly at all costs, then worry about the consequences later.
Do not be a sitting duck! The next time I see some drunken thug beating up his girlfriend in Bedford Place I am going to Spray him and then kick him in the a%&e on the way down!
Yours truly,
The real Edward Woodward
