Acid Attacks in London
#12
The 'Acid attacks' seem to have many tangents of crime and it's somehow all
connected to delivery workers of bicycles and mopeds in London.
It's on-going and they don't care about the authorities of course.

London paramedic attacked by moped gang in West End.

Mopeds are increasingly being used as getaway vehicles or to carry out robberies and attacks
across the capital.

'Thieves on mopeds mounted a crowded pavement to steal a phone out of the hand of a cycle
paramedic while she was on duty.
Katherine McKenna, 32, was attacked in Store Street in London's West End.

She was about to respond to an emergency call to help an elderly man who had fallen down some
stairs when the attack happened. She said: "I was really shocked. I could not believe that it happened
and I was angry I couldn't respond to the patient who needed my help."

Ms McKenna was not hurt in the attack.

She said: "Sadly this type of attack is common. They are hurting people; they are putting other people in
danger on the roads and pavements but they are also a danger to themselves.
"I have been called out to, and treated, youths who have had accidents on their mopeds."

Ms McKenna was attacked by three muggers, travelling on two mopeds, at 6.15pm on 25 July.
They all wore helmets with black visors covering their faces.

There have been more than 16,000 moped related crimes in London in the past 12 months, a threefold
increase on the previous year.
Many of the victims are targeted because they are holding a mobile phone.

Ms McKenna returned to work the day after the attack. She said: "If I didn't go back to work, they would win.
"I want to keep doing my job which is caring for and treating people in London. I don't feel unsafe on my bike
in London. Most of the time people are so friendly and appreciative of the job we do."

Paul Cook, operations general manager at the London Ambulance Service, said: "It is appalling for a
paramedic to be targeted while on duty and we will work with the police to identify and prosecute those
who did this."...'
