Two days before my 18th birthday I was attacked by two females and one male.
One female helt me down whilst the other female kicked and punched me.I managed to push the female holding me away,however,I then punched the female who had me in her face.I understand this was the wrong thing to do but was scared and had no chance of running away or ringing for help.

The male then became involved by punching me in my jaw,a group of men who were passing saw what had happened and began hitting the male.
The females then began attacking the group of men who had began hitting the male.I was pleading with the men to not hit him any more,I did not get involved in any more of the fighting.

Every one involved was arressted.

I was shocked by my actions however at the time i was scared and just lashed out.

The c.c.t.v evidence shows me been helt but not punched.
It also shows me pleading with the group of men to leave the male who had hit me alone.

I had a fracture to my cheek and damage to my lips and ears (all of which were photographed).

I receieved a caution for this event, i am now serching for ways to appeal against it and was wondered if anyone knew any information to help me.

thankyou.

Why did you plead with the men not to hit the man who punched you in the jaw??? Did you know him?

True, Diz - I don't condone fighting, but I'd be GRATEFUL if someone came to my rescue like that!

oviously i do not enjoy getting attacked.

I dont not know the male,however, in what way was the men hitting the male going to benefit the situation? i was grateful they restrained him however, they should of left it there because hitting him and brawling in the street made them as bad as him,which the males agreed they were wrong to attack him.(especialy in a group)

has any one any information on how to appeal,please

you cant appeal against a caution, because in accepting a caution you have accepted you are guilty.
Frankly, you're lucky you didn't get thrown in jail. One day a real rain will come and wash filth like you off the streets.

OP, I don't think appealing your caution is the best way to go about it TBH. Accept it, move on and say thank you to the guys who became involved on your behalf not berate them!
If events were as you describe then I don't think you should have accepted the caution. You were attacked (the evidence is obvious from your injuries) and were defending yourself. If your only aggressive move was one punch to try to deter further assault then I can see no reason why you should have been treated as anything other than the victim.

However, having accepted the caution I don't think you can do anything about it. You would need to ask a criminal solicitor to confirm definitely.

Thankyou bednobs and themas and pink kittens,thats great help thanks for your time.

I have thanked the bed and recently looked after one of them when they were admitted onto my ward,small world!

again thanks for your help.
Sorry I lost interest when you said "it was the wrong thing to do" referring to you punching somebody for holding you down.

You sound too nice, and by your lack of street wisdom I am afraid you have a criminal record for violence FOR LIFE.

You only grounds for appeal against a caution is by stressing you made it under repression and confusion.

Remember, people kill people for less and GET OFF WITH IT under self defence.

Good luck.
