Hi all, I'm staying at the Etap hotel, and have walked through the underpass (i.e. tunnel under the road) in front of the hotel each evening on the way home from the Europython venue.
This evening, about 10 minutes after I arrived back at the hotel, some poor man was assaulted in the same underpass as I had just walked through 10 mins previously. He was on his way home from a club (not Europython), and five "yoofs" attacked him, punched him in the face, and broke a bottle over his head. I heard this from the one of the people at the Etap, who was explaining to us why an ambulance had turned up at the hotel. The advice he gave was "Do NOT walk through the underpasses after 7pm, it's just not safe. After 7pm, stay overground: there's better visibility and monitoring". I thought it was important to relay this advice to ye all: don't walk through the underpasses alone: if you must use them, do so in groups. Regards, Alan. _______________________________________________ EuroPython mailing list EuroPython@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython
