Edit2: The misogyny in the comments are absurd, I’m not questioning if it happened, it did. And to help with your curiosity, we met in college, we lived together, yes we FaceTimed right after it happened, I was the one blocking her phone on iCloud while she was cleaning her wounds, she still has several cuts on her face, she’s traumatized and hurt.
Stop being fucking sexist pussies and be REAL MEN.
Edit: You lonely fucking weirdos wtf are these comments.
I also don’t plan on hurting the guys, I want them to get caught by the police but I know nothing about making a “trap” to identify the guys or maybe make a situation where I know they’ll try to do it with someone else but with people watching ready to do something maybe?
Hi everyone.
Early Sunday morning, around 4 a.m., my partner was assaulted and robbed right outside a metro station in London. There were three guys. They beat her up badly, hitting her in the head and face with a bottle. She ended up with a concussion and a broken nose.
I live far away (really far) so I can’t actually be there for her the way I wish I could. I can’t help take care of her injuries or support her in person after something so traumatic. She told me there was blood everywhere. It’s been really hard for her to go out especially because they live very close to her and it kills me that I feel so powerless from a distance
Because of that, the only thing I feel like I can do right now is try to get some kind of revenge or justice. The police don’t seem to care much and haven’t been very cooperative so far.
I do have a rough idea of the address of one of the guys. After the attack, my partner’s phone location showed it was taken to a specific place and stayed there all night. I might also be able to get descriptions of the guys. My partner is trying to see if she can get the CCTV footage from the subway station, but honestly that also seems unlikely.
So I’m here asking for advice. What could I realistically do in this situation? What options are there that are actually legal? And is there any way I could help my partner feel safe leaving the house again after something like this?
She has no family there
It was a huge trauma for her, and I feel incredibly helpless not being able to do anything from here. I just want to do something.
Not even sure if this kind of post is allowed here, but thank you to anyone who takes the time to respond.
Quick disclaimer: from what my partner could tell, these didn’t seem like professional criminals. They were three young guys in their early twenties who honestly didn’t seem like they really knew what they were doing. In the end they didn’t even keep the phone, they eventually dumped it somewhere else
She was assaulted as beaten pretty badly but not sexually assaulted.
