it must have been shocking to witness ....guess I’d be very shaken if I was in your shoes.
 
The green one was also a Lambo I think. So the dead guy knew the guys in the cars. If they were all friends perhaps the car drivers just took off in a panic, not because they'd done anything wrong? I don't think the rider of the Santander bike was hurt. As far as I could see, the stabbing victim was the only person injured.

Three-year-old girl left with 'life-changing injuries' after being hit by e-scooter in Camberwell - Southwark News

Officers are urging the rider to come forward and speak to police
www.southwarknews.co.uk www.southwarknews.co.uk

A three-year-old girl has been seriously injured after being hit by an e-scooter in Camberwell’s Myatt’s Fields Park.
She was rushed to hospital by her family after the collision took place at around 8.30pm on Monday night (July 19).
The Met was contacted after her condition deteriorated. Although she is said to be stable, her injuries are believed to be serious enough to be life-changing.

Officers are now urging the rider, who had stopped at the scene to apologise, to come forward. They are also urging any witnesses to get in touch.
He is described as a young male who was with a group of people including another e-scooter rider and someone on a bicycle.

Detective Inspector Lucie Card, of the Met’s Roads and Transport Policing Command, said: “A little girl has been left in a serious condition after this collision and her family are, of course, very distressed.

“We have reason to believe that the e-scooter’s rider stopped after the collision and apologised to the little girl’s mother.
“It may be that they haven’t realised the severity of the girl’s injuries and thought she was ok.
“I am asking this person to please come forward and speak to us because we do need to understand what happened.

“I know it might feel a little overwhelming, but please do the right thing and call us or go to your nearest police station.
“We are also keen to hear from anyone in Myatt’s Fields Park around 20:30hrs last night.
“Please do get in touch with us if you witnessed what happened, or have information about the circumstances.”

Anyone with information should call Catford Traffic Garage on 020 82851574.

Ah. Poor girl and her poor family :(

That'll be why the BBC were in the park yesterday filming a piece about e-scooters.

Meet 25-year old Pierre Garcia-Benitez of Norwood Road, SE24 ...


erpbrtayauukfbfktjvf.jpg


(Source: Metropolitan Police)​

... according to the Metropolitan Police, on Monday 26 April this year at around 11.30 a.m., a 78-year-old woman was walking down Norwood Road, having visited her local post office.

She was unaware she was being watched by Pierre Garcia-Benitez, who had been standing behind her as she had withdrawn £200 just minutes earlier.

He approached the woman and grabbed her handbag. She tried to keep hold of it but he managed to pull it away, causing her to fall heavily onto the ground.

Members of the public came to the woman's aid, including a man hero who had seen the incident unfold from his vehicle who bravely gave chase, causing Pierre Garcia-Benitez to throw the bag away as he fled.

Although some items were recovered, a purse containing the £200 withdrawn earlier and personal family photos was not.

Officers launched an investigation, reviewing CCTV, making door to door enquiries and issuing a media appeal. As a result, Pierre Garcia-Benitez was identified as the suspect.

Pierre Garcia-Benitez was arrested on Saturday 19 June 2021 and charged with one count of Robbery. On Monday 19 July 2021, Pierre Garcia-Benitez pleaded guilty to Robbery at Inner London Crown Court.

Pierre Garcia-Benitez will be sentenced at the same court on Wednesday 8 September 2021.

Is the Albert shut?
Bumped into Woczek (I think that's the right spelling) in loughborough park who said most of the staff have Covid and are off.

There was a sound system in the park on Sunday from around 2:45 PM and still there at 9PM after closing time, guess the park warden didn't want an argument.

True, saw Wojciech, the other day too. Daytime opening resumed yesterday - apparently, so I am told...

Does anyone know if there is any direct connection between the filming and the stabbing?
Are the companies making these videos just turning up and filming or getting any appropriate permissions

Can't believe this one was done with any official permission

Its unlikely they had permission isn't it? And if so, its a tough lesson learnt that when shooting a music video (with such charming lyrics) without permission it can cause problems, as a terrible murder on a busy high street in broad daylight goes to show.

Incredible to think also, that if the rumour that the knifing was an act of jealousy, how fucked up an individual has to be to stick a knife into someone else ending that life and ruining their own in one fell swop.

I suspect that it's highly unlikely that they would have secured permission for the filming.

No way you’d get permission to do that kind of filming in vehicles without road closures/police attendance/crowd control/specialist tracking vehicles being used.

There would be a myriad of risk assessments and production insurance forms to fill out before you’d be remotely covered as a production company. Without these being in place and adhered to, any incident like this could (and should) lead to a charge of corporate manslaughter for the producer/stunt and vehicle supervisors/anyone who deviated from the agreed plan.

Speaking as an ex producer.

I'm all for a bit of rule breaking, but its a shame these people just think they can do whatever the fuck they want, and sod the consequences.

I don't think they had stuntmen. The murdered guy's Facebook page just says he was a scaffolder from Thornton Heath.

Lots of newspaper reports listing the victim as a stuntman, but I really doubt a professional stuntman would be involved in a set up like this. Just reading some of the reports of a Range Rover with a driver wearing a balaclava and people riding in the boot with it open. That’s a total nono on open public roads.

the film and tv industry is heavily regulated for a reason. It’s a high risk industry with long hours, heavy and dangerous kit and often exposure to the public. The history of inexperienced people being bullied into unsafe work practises is one of the reasons so much regulation is needed. There are a lot of chancers with zero experience calling themselves producers, particularly in music videos
