Witness Statement
Mrs. Hastings (informant)
It was about quarter past ten when I turned into West Crompton Street -I had been shopping. I was pushing my baby's pram, and paying no attention to people in the street.
I suddenly realised that the pavement was blocked by a bunch of kids. I said "scuse me" or something, but they didn't move. Then some of them started coming around me and the pram, blocking my way back as well as forwards. There were six of them, including one girl.

One of them turned to face me. He was well built, and a skinhead - there were three of them in the gang - and had a tattoo on his arm. He said to me "OK, give us yer bag". I was too shocked to move for a few seconds, and then he reached under his coat and brought out a knife. Then he moved closer.
I was really scared by this time, not just for me but the baby as well. I took off my bag - it was over my shoulder - and threw it to him. He yelled "GO" and they all ran for it.
I can't say very much more about most of the others. There were two more skinheads - they were all white - and at least one other with a moustache. The girl was short and pretty, but beyond that I couldn't say. It all happened so quickly.
