Mob of schoolchildren kick London police officer in the head

Police are appealing for mobile phone footage after a group of up to 30 schoolchildren attacked two officers as they tried to search a suspect for a knife.

One officer was punched in the face several times, causing him to fall to the ground where the mob continued their assault, kicking him in the head.

He was taken to hospital as a precaution after suffering serious bruising, the Metropolitan Police said.

His female colleague was punched in the jaw when she tried to rescue him.

Several witnesses are said to have filmed the attack in New Cross, southeast London.

It began at 4pm on 9 November when the officers, who had been on patrol in Goodwood Road near the junction with New Cross Road, saw a teenager hiding a large knife.

As they attempted to search him, the group of schoolchildren turned on them.

Should the parents of these scroats face punishment...fines...benefit sanction...imprisonment??

If you have a dangerously out of control dog...you are punished

shouldnt the same apply to dangerously out of control kids????

When I was kid in the East End unruly children were given a "good talking to" by the local firm - worked wonders.

Not allowed to "touch 'em" now Ziz , too much PC.

Believe me, nicko, they didn't need to touch you to get their point across.

Of course their parents should be held responsible.
If a child truants from school the parent is responsible, so if they act like thugs outside of school, they, as well as the little thugs, should face the consequences.
