Why did you strike out?
"Sticks and stones"... and all that....

If they attacked you without provocation you'd be within your rights to defend yourself. Have you made a statement to the police yet?

[carmalee]

if there were five onto you I would have thought you were entitled to defend yourself - got any witnesses?

Q 1 i felt liquid hit me in the face.
Q2 yes i have made a statement
Q 3 only what cctv saw and dont have access at the moment.

the cctv should sort it out and show what happened - if it's as you say then it will be recorded and there will be no problems.
