After speaking with a distraught lady and an aggressive male, the legal duty was clear. With the help of my offsider, we placed the man under arrest to be charged with assault.
Unfortunately this didn't suit the culprit who put on a bit of a fight and required us to manhandle him roughly and bundle him into the wagon.
Sometimes, the complainants change sides when they see their partners being handled by the police, so I tried to keep her on side by remarking " I reckon it's a pretty bad thing for a bloke to beat up a woman. " I pointed to her protruding belly " Especially a pregnant woman. "
She looked at me rather coldly " I'm not pregnant "
AAhhhhh
