Brawls in the streets of Birmingham.

With the ever-growing popularity of gun crime in London, Birmingham seems to be rapidly follwing suit.

Living in the city for 2 years now, I have constantly been aware of the crime in the area but never have seen violence taken to the heart of the city centre.

Within 2 hours of being in the corporation street/new street region I became witness to a street brawl outside the GAP, which over-flowed into the store itself, with members of the oublic taking refuge, then an hour later by the Bullring Shopping centre, I witnessed the continuation of the brawl.

The fighting only came to a stand-still once the authoroties arrived, on foot and bike. When you consider the fitness of half of the crime commiting community who constantly run from the law, it didn't seem very comforting to see PC-Blob turn up.

The dawning of a new week was then greeted with a stabbing of a youth outside the Matthew Boulton College, which caused traffic delays and struck fear into the public again We are not safe in our home town.



It is beleived that passers-by on buses passing the Matthew Boulton College may be key witnesses inidentifying the attacker.
