need some advice (headbutted a member of public)

[^TANK^]

I can't seriously believe that some people are justifying this uniformed rent-a-thug head-butting someone!

The mind boggles, it really does!

What the **** would you have done, hit him with your keyboard. I assume it was a knee jerk reaction on movingtable's part due to being grabbed by the throat! Not everyone would be happy about being a punch bag Azagoth!

Yes of course, I'd have hit him with my keyboard! Seriously though, is "Ooh, keyboard LOLZ!!111!!1!!!!1!" the best you can up with?

Did you even bother to read the post, the guy wasn't been held at all, in his own words he'd already pulled away. It was only then that he lunged in with his head-butt as retaliation! No doubt because he has some problem controlling his anger and didn't want to lose face in public.

Speaking as someone who has never been headbutted or administered a headbutt to someone else, how does the butt-er do it without causing themselves imense pain? Banging your forehead into a relatively hard surface seems to me to be less than sensible, even if its the end of someones nose. If you are going to whack someone why use your forehead particularly? Again, I am no expert.

The crucial phrase is admitting you pulled away, then headbutted the guy. That is excessive force and assault at the very least I would have thought.

when i was at school there was guy with an amazingly strong forhead ,he used to let the hard kids at school punch it lol

I had a similar incident, if you get called in say that the guy was trying to get past you and you clashed heads, or something very similar to that, don't say you nutted him, the police will arrest you for ABH.
Edit : that is if its not on camera, then nothing you say will help, just try and make it sound like you were doing your job and he was the aggressor and you should be fine.

make sure you report the initial assault to at least your bosses, along with any details of the person who commited it.

This is what I'd do. Good luck.

Lol you're not easy to wind up are you, put your toys back in ya pram when you finished throwing ya tantrum.

today i was asking someone "nicely" not to park in a staff bay and they flipped their lid and had me by the throat. so i pulled away and then headbutted

Sounds like self defense to me.

I wasnt there but I'm guessing when he said he pulled away, he meant the guy was still coming for him, because if the guys just grabbed him by the throat, the guys not just going to stop because he pulled away.

I dont believe it is a requirement of security guards to know martial arts. He just did a reflex action bought upon by the close proximity of his assailant, (not enough room or time to engage full limbage extensions).

 

[Morba]

reflex action? he's bloody slow if he has allowed the bloke to get so close that a swift nut is all he can do to fend the man off.

the op was well over the top with what he had done and deserves to go infront of a judge.

it should never have got to the point of getting close to each other, let alone actually touching each other.
if the bloke was going to park his car there, let him, then clamp him or whatever.

could have been worse he could have followed the headbutt up with some of these..
