Is this an indicator of what Dawlish can expect when the 'disaffected' start to accumulate in Dawlish's new Youth Drug/Alcoholic Centre?

Teenager is stabbed in neck and chest in street attack by gang

07:20 - 02-September-2008

A vicious thug stabbed a teenager in the neck, chest and arm during a violent attack by a gang in Exeter.

The victim was heading into Friars' Walk, near Topsham Road, after a night out with friends when the driver of a silver Peugeot 106 car revved his engine at a set of traffic lights and started shouting abuse.

The driver followed the friends for a short distance and then got out of the car with three passengers.

The 19-year-old victim, who has asked not to be named, said two men and two women, all in their late teens, attacked him and his friend.


I can't believe what the world is comming to , Exeter used to be such a quiet place to live.
Maybe its the drivers of silver peugeots , there was a gang of youths in whipton at 1.30 Sunday morning who were shouting and arguing and then reversed at speed into my neighbours car and drove off leaving it damaged .
Mayve the driving age should be raised to 21 then at least they couldn't have drove round and found that poor guy and stabbed him .
