“It was a female that was assaulted and dragged from her car actually, she was approached and asked for help by a male, he then assualted her and stole her car after dragging her out. I personally will try to remember to keep my door locked at all times, you just never know..”

“Nice to see that the stigma and prejudice against those unfortunates amongst us that suffer from mental illness is alive and well in Gloucester.”

“This was an unbelievably violent attack on an innocent family and their home. Not to mention the devastation caused at the railway crossing. Why was this man aloud among the public?”

“It was an escapee from the mental hospital on Horton Road. Who then stopped a driver and stole his Land Rover before driving through the barriers causing a train to apply emergency brakes. The driver then crashed into a house on derby road. Then chucked a brick through the window of the house and climbed in, holding the family hostage until police caught up with him”
