And you’re telling me it wasn’t caught on bus lane cameras, someone needs to do some police work.
More importantly if happend where it states it’s covered by the cafes extensive CCTV and any vehicle reversing down that slip road to attack someone sitting on the cafe wall would be on the premises cameras as it’s a licenced premises so has to be covered smells fishy
