Dh assaulted at work, ABH. What do we do?

[Sheilafeeler]

Help. Dh was punched in the face by a colleague and then had his face grabbed with injutries

If OH employed ; boss/head of HR

What happened for this attack to happen? I'd say police too, HR and line manager - plus ensure he isn't allowed near your DH

@Sheilafeeler

No, witnessed to be unprovoked, punched in the face then the man grabbed his face in sheer rage and was pushing thumb into his eye

I don't think you're getting the full story here

Police issue first then depending on structure of company his line manager who will inform hr. this is terrible what line of work is he in?

Police 100% and HR and management at his company.

You say it was unprovoked which I have no trouble believing but I'm honestly curious about this attacker. Is he violent in general? Are his colleagues scared of him? Was this violent act totally out of the blue?

Also, not that this excuses hime at all but did he communicate some reason for attacking your DH?

Why are you even asking?

How awful. Agree with everyone involve police

Colleague ex convict has threatened others

God that's awful. Did the colleague have a reason? Not that anything would be reasonable! Just wonder what the fuck happened. What kind of of work does your husband do? Was anyone around like a manager?

Sorry asking cause in shock dh is in shock had medical intervention stitches to facr and cut eyeball

Dh is bricklayer colleague same, manager not on site came on site to take dh to hospital

OP, just call the Police, please. He will be taken out of circulation sharpish especially if he has previous.

He is obviously capable of doing this again and again - needs to be stopped.

Then just call the police. The number is 101

How awful, so the colleague just longed for him out of nowhere?
Yes I echo the other suggestions for police. It sounds very violent.

@Sheilafeeler Police. Call the police.

Hope your DH is OK.

What are you asking for?

You call the police. What else would you do? Honestly, some people.

Just call the police.

Just saw your updates. He obviously just thinks this is an OK way to behave. Your poor husband! How's he doing?

Does your husband want to contact the police?

Why are you asking here? And why are you typing as if words are rationed?

What do you expect people to suggest? Other than reporting it to the police and his employers?

How's his vision? Poor bloke!

What does your husband want to do?

Ok, so employer is aware and obviously I assume that means they accept an employee assaulted another?

So you need a copy of the hospital report (should have a discharge note?) and photos.

DH needs to write a statement whilst it's still clear in his head.

Call 101 in the morning and report it as assault.

He needs to ring into work sock due to his injuries and infirm boss he's making a police statement.

He also needs to be clear what he's willing to do with regards work.

Eg. Will be refuse work until bloke is suspended pending investigation.
Would he be willing to work if never with this bloke and guarantee they will not ever meet on a site?

And take lots of photos of the injuries, ask for the medical records of the injuries too.

police 100%
