VIGILANTES GO AFTER TEEN GANG

ARMED men take law into own hands after rampageANGRY vigilantes sought “rough justice” on the streets of Holloway on Monday night after a gang of teenagers went on the rampage, smashing windows and brutally beating up a 58-year-old economist.
A group of men from the neighbourhood chased the gang of 10 to 20 teenagers in a people carrier. The teenagers had been verbally abusing people and throwing bricks, paving slabs and large wheely bins through windows.
The 15-strong gang, all aged around 17 years old, beat up a 58-year-old man who refused to give them money. He was pulled from his car and stamped on and punched as he lay on the floor.
Terrified residents in Dalmeny Road told how the trouble started during a Halloween ‘trick or treat’ session.
The males were wearing hoodies and the females nurses and schoolgirls uniforms.
The father-of-two told the Tribune how he was waiting to pick up his 14-year-old daughter when the gang demanded money.

Report exposes filthy pool
HEALTH and safety inspectors found rusting changing rooms and stained toilet floors when they inspected one of Islington’s most popular swimming pools, the Tribune can reveal.
Files unearthed using new Freedom of Information rules show that an inspection found a series of hazards at the Archway Leisure Centre in Macdonald Road this summer.
Leisure operators Aquaterra said that problems unearthed during the investigation in August had been seen to or would be addressed in the next week as a priority.
But Labour councillors say the pool is being mismanaged and attempts by the Liberal Democrat council to throw money at the pool have failed.
