Former officer said police would not come to help

Read storyFormer police officer Rupert Moxey said despite calling police three times, no-one came to help him stop a man who was throwing rocks at his home and threatening his life.

Moxey, 58, said at around 11 o'clock Friday night, he saw a young man fighting outside his home. The man turned on him after he told him to put down a rock.

The attacker came to his yard and said "I'll kill you, I'll **** you up."

Moxey called the police emergency number. When no one came he called back and was told to call the Carmichael Road Station. They told him there was no-one available.

Meanwhile, the man was throwing rock after rock at Moxey's house, damaging his friend's car and breaking his front gate.

After a sleepless night, he called back the next day and the following Monday but no one has gone to see him.

"I really just want the police to come so I don't have to deal with this on my own.

He threatened to kill me when he threw the first stone and I was really afraid."

Assistant Superintendent of Police Walter Evans said he would look into the incident.
