last night dh went out to get a takeaway for us, less than 1/4 of a mile from our house, he went on his bike and left it outside the chippy while he popped in to get food. While he was waiting he saw a teenaged boy trying to take his bike, so he ran out and said "oi stop it, that's mine" or words to that effect. The boy ran round the corner and then came back with two lads of about 18/19, one of whom was his brother. They basically surrounded dh and started insulting him, saying stuff like "long-haired twat" and "I slept with your wife last night" etc etc. DH didn't react. DH was also pretty sure the older two were "on something" (not just booze). The biggest one shoved his forehead up against dh's and said "aren't you going to push back?" and dh said "No, of course not, I don't want to fight you". So the git headbutted dh in the face and then they all ran off.
DH now has a big swollen bump on his nose. He was very shaken and actually tearful when he came back . I tried to persuade him to call the police, but he said he couldn't give a description so there was no point. I did manage to get him to call the police, but he totally downplayed it and basically told them not to bother coming to take a statement because he couldn't remember what they looked like, and that the swelling on his nose wasn't serious, etc. So they didn't take a statement.
I am a bit hacked off, although I can see where dh was coming from. It pisses me off that those little turds could just pick on a total stranger and treat him like this. It really, really angers me, in fact. And also if they were in the state dh describes they will probably have assaulted/upset other people last night too.
AIBU?
