Stabbed Pc

[Bazile]

I'm not aware on what area of the body he was stabbed .

However , do uniformed officers routinely wear staff proof vests ?

[woofgang]

Apparently at least one wound was in his neck. If his carotid was hit it would be fast and nasty

[Bazile]

Looks like the assailant knowingly and deliberately chose a spot, he knew would be fatal

[DTCwordfan]

and his ribcage was hit 'with a substantial wound.' (BBC last night interview with that ex army guy and Royal Artillery alongside Lee Digby who came rushing across)

I think Neck

( silly teenagers do small stabs and if they choose the neck they dont realise that it is easy to kill someone )

The fella in the tube who was stabbed ( you aint no muslim bruv - that one ) got it in the neck - and or however the junior doctor who attended was an anaesthetist so that was kinda lucky ( for that patient )

If you do a Bates Motel stab in the neck with a machete
I wouldnt expect the victim to survive

[woofgang]

Bazile, I suspect a wild swing or thrust....it might have been his intent to behead......

He was wearing a stab vest

[choux]

Tobias Ellwood (one of the MPs who tired to save him) said PC Palmer had been stabbed in the back and under his arm and these wounds had caused a catastrophic loss of blood. If you think of a vest you will surely understand there are areas of vulnerability.

Do you really need a typo explaining?


I think it almost impossible to make a wearable garment that fully protects and does not hinder the person from doing their job, sad though that is.

[Mamyalynne]

Crossed there, sorry Baz.

[Bazile]

Well it's not as if i'm sitting an english language examination

I've got far more important things to worry about , than typos on answerbank

[anneasquith]

As I do Bazile, AB is not an English exam :-)

[Mamyalynne]

It also doesn't take a second or two to think, is my comment necessary or relevant - will it add to people's understand of the thread.

Then delete before submitting.

[Baldric]

I think you will find I am as entitled to an opinion as anyone else on AB.

[Mamyalynne]

True is that,

Sorry Baz.
