Scotland Yard's anti-gun chief hurt in gang attack
Published Date: 24 November 2008
A senior police officer was hit with a brick during an attack by a gang of four people - including a girl of 15 -it has been revealed.
Detective Superintendent Gary Richardson, who leads Scotland Yard's Operation Trident which tackles black gun crime, was assaulted while walking along the road with his wife and son.
Two men abused the officer before hitting him on the back of the head with a brick. A scuffle followed, during which Mr Richardson, 49, blocked several blows with his arm and was hit in the back.
The attack in West Molesey, Surrey, took place on October 12, but it was revealed yesterday that the senior officer was the victim.
Scotland Yard confirmed Mr Richardson was assaulted. Surrey police refused to reveal details of the victim but released information about the attack.
The officer was taken to Kingston Hospital after the assault with minor injuries.
Two men aged 19 and 20 and a 15-year-old girl, all from West Molesey, were arrested along with a second girl, 17, from Wimbledon.
The four were bailed until December 20 pending further enquiries, a spokesman for Surrey Police said.

That is four punks who need a shooting.
A brick to the head is a potentially lethal assault.
Too bad the Bobbies are unarmed.

Guess it's time to outlaw BRICKS!!!!!!!
Now thats funny
Guess it's time to outlaw BRICKS!!!!!!!
You mean anti-gun fanatics
Those that own a brick house must register each and every brick (and, of course, pay a hefty tax for each lethal weapon)
It is beyond me why in the twenty first century any backward person would want a brick. It certainly shows a lack of education.
Bricks are for Neanderthal men (In Gieco commercials?)
Personally I think just registering bricks does not go far enough and the world would be a safer better place if all bricks throughout the word were crushed up (Not to stones, they are evil weapons too lest we forget the unfortunate Goliath tragedy) they must be ground to sand.
I am sure, as all here are as well, if there were no bricks in the world there would never be a hateful thought by anyone and hope you join me in our quest of a brick free world.
We can start by insisting anyone buying bricks has a background check and off course, a three day waiting period to pick up the bricks.
We'll call it the Bricky Bill!!!
Then we can move to registration before an outright ban.
However, all governments can have as many bricks as they want because we the people can not be trusted and governments are above trust.
This should coincide with the banning of all eating utensils as science has shown man should eat with his hands alone.
As John Lennon said "Imagine". So imagine a world with no weapons (except for governments armed to the teeth for our benefit), no sharp objects no heavy objects capable of striking anyone or anything.
Come to think of it we will not even need teeth anymore.
Paradise, that is what it will be or perhaps the Matrix???

Also, you can only buy 1 brick a month, so if you have a big project your working on, its going to take a while. [;)]
