Violence against women
Discussion
Ello.
I heard sweary chavvy shouting in the street today and poked my head out of the kids' window to see a domestic going on in the street. A man pushing a woman quite forcefully. He pushed her enough that she stumbled and was defending herself. But not hard enough to fall down for the times he pushed her. He stopped only when I shouted at him. No punching, no blood. They both walked off.
I logged an incident on 101. And e-mailed the video I had of the big guy shoving the small woman around.
What's most likely course of events here? I was thinking: she won't press charges. It's not assault. It's not even a crime so won't make the stats. And you can assume this is the sort of sad thing that happens in the UK all the time...
