    Man’s lucky this was in the UK cause it’s definitely grounds for assault and battery charges.

      That doesn’t make it better - the police in the UK are who chooses whether to charge, not the victim.

      Now, the Met won’t do anything cos it isn’t worth their time, but it would be absolutely hilarious if they did.

        That’s what I meant, it’s 2 American citizens and nobody called the police, it’d be funny but why would they bother?

          They won’t bother, but now this has been released they could choose to, that’s all I’m saying.

          That’ll come down to an operational decision for the Met, but they are currently too busy beating up minorities and protecting their own from murder and rape accusations, so, bigger fish.
