Miracle Dogs; safeguard a woman forcibly violated alone, in a park at the cusp of midnight.
On Tuesday 21st of December 2021 around 10:40 PM, Sid a Royal Greenwich employee; routinely as normal, took his dogs (Pablo 1-year-old and Menace 8 Months old), for a walk in the Local Park. Recounting his experience of that night, with his local neighbour.
Sid explained "both my dogs are curious, however on this occasion they were unsettled; something bothered them" in a certain dense shrub, I thought nothing of it; normally it's foxes or urban wildlife foraging, suddenly out came a woman shouting Help! Help!, I have just been sexually assaulted; by two individuals behind here.
Sid then says both suspects, came out of the overgrown shrubs to aggressively refute; her claims and attempted to grab hold of her again.
I told them what are you talking about; you just assaulted this woman (35-year-old). Witnessing they were following her, with my dogs I immediately created a midway barrier; telling the suspects you are under "A Citizen's Arrest", and if they thought of moving the dogs will be let loose. Unfortunately one of the suspects run so fast, it was like a Usain bolt run. his criminal accomplice got caught within the already alert canine mouth, gentle bite only a warning; giving Pablo or Menace any other signal of attack, which I knew would have been a deadly outcome for the suspect; I made sure the situation was under control.
We waited for the police, and when they arrived "I felt a sense of relief, it just happened so fast"(Sid).
The Metropolitan Police said: “Police were called shortly before 11 pm on Tuesday, December 21st to Lakedale Road to reports of rape of a woman by two males.
