Froghill Constabulary is appealing
for information following an unprovoked assault in a public toilet. The incident
took place yesterday afternoon in the Everdene Road conveniences.
“We’re appealing for anyone who was
in the vicinity to get in contact with the police,” said D.I. Alan ‘The Hammer’
Hardman.
The victim, who cannot be named for fear
of workplace derision, entered the conveniences at around 5.30pm and locked
himself into one of the cubicles. As he was sitting down, a candy-striped cane
appeared from over the top of the dividing wall.
The handle encircled the victim’s
neck and yanked him up onto his feet. A white-gloved hand then pushed a custard
pie into his face.
Though reportedly complaining of a
pain in the neck, the man was otherwise uninjured in the attack.
Police are not ruling out a
connection between this and the four dessert-related incidents earlier this
month.
“We are treating the incidents as
potentially related,” said D.I. Hardman.
“Whoever is doing this and for
whatever reason, I’m determined to get to the bottom of it – I will not
tolerate jerking and mess in Froghill’s public toilets. Not unless I’m
watching.”
As the significance of his words
dawned upon him, the Inspector coughed and added: “I meant, not on my watch.”
He then informed us that the
interview was over, turned on his heel and walked away.
