The original version in the Observer (since redacted) was that a St Patrick's Day reveller remonstrated with a nuisance biker who assaulted him and he hit his head when he fell which left him unconscious and not breathing.
I've just read the newspaper article in that link, Otis. At the bottom is a breakdown of crimes reported in January for my postcode (how they know my postcode is another matter). The number of reported crimes is nonsense. My postcode is just one street in our small Dorset village. We don't have anywhere near thet number of crimes in a year, let alone in one month!
