Firstly – It was a party and the council worker provoked the situation, Secondly neither of them have been charged with anything. And for the record – Both occupations are incorrect? .. I suggest people should do their research before they post “news” Very inaccurate about this incident! And doesn’t say about the Council worker trying to attack the 18 year old? Also the motorbike’s were damaged through the men getting arrested.
