Cops quell angry mob
04Aug07
FIVE police officers faced an angry mob of around 100 people last night, when a domestic dispute snowballed into a war between two families.
Police were called to a house in Bagot Community, Ludmilla, around 6.30pm.
"Basically it was a domestic dispute, a female cracked a male over the head and then the male called his family in,'' a police spokesman said.
"Nulla nullas were produced, but the offenders disappeared once the police arrived.''
"A number of officers suffered minor cuts and bruises while separating the warring parties, however there were no serious injuries.'' a police spokesman said.
A warrant check led to the arrest of a man, 28, from Elcho Island, who was wanted for damage to property.
The dispute simmered down after the police attended, and did not spill outside the perimeter of Bagot Community.
However, nearby residents remained watchful after the police departed.
"There were about 80 people all shouting and screaming, it was such a horrendous racket,'' said one local resident, who did not wish to be identified.
"There's always problems, always noise at this particular house,'' the resident said.
We've spoken to the police and to politicians but they all tell us there's nothing we can do. It's been like this for 26 years.''
