Wanstead man steps in to tackle mugger at Santander cashpoint in Wanstead High Street

East London and West Essex Guardian Series: Tommy Stapleton Tommy Stapleton

A MUGGER was left bloodied and bruised at a high street cashpoint when an onlooker stepped in and gave him a ‘proper hiding’.

Scaffolder Tommy Stapleton, 32, of Dangan Road in Wanstead, was enjoying a Saturday afternoon drink outside Bar Room Bar in the High Street, when he heard screaming and shouting outside the Santander Bank a few doors down.

He said: “Funnily enough I was telling my friend how nice Wanstead was when I saw these guys mugging an old man.

“One of them jumped in a white Nissan GTI and sped off, but the other fellow ran into the road.”

Mr Stapleton dropped his drink and rushed from the bar to confront the remaining mugger.

“I rugby tackled him in the middle of the road,” he said.

“He squirmed away from me, so I just clumped him.”

The struggle attracted the attention of diners at the Nice Croissant Café but, just as Mr Stapleton managed to get a grip on the mugger, a crowd of women rushed out and started screaming at him.

Mr Stapleton said: “Some of them were shouting ‘It’s a racist attack!’ because the guy was Asian.

“I had him pinned down and was screaming at the people in the bar to call the police, but with all these women shouting at me I lost my concentration and let him go.”

The mugger ran off down the High Street toward Christ Church Green, leaving Mr Stapleton clutching his jacket and phone.

He said: “I had some of his blood on my left arm from where I’d punched him and I was trying to explain what had happened to a customer who came out of the British Heart Foundation shop.

“She told me I shouldn’t have got involved. I just said ‘Are you stupid?’

“I was scared of getting in trouble because I gave him a proper hiding, but people should step in if they see something like this happening.”

The cashpoint mugging is the third on the high street in as many weeks which the Guardian has been made aware of.

Mr Stapleton said: “I saw your story a couple of weeks back about the two pensioners getting mugged at cash machines on the High Street and I think it’s disgraceful.

“The robbery squad told me nobody ever gets involved, and thanked me for getting his jacket and phone. They were also able to get some DNA off my arm. The victim was just delighted I helped out.

“Hopefully this little runt has learnt his lesson.”

Both muggers are described as Asian, between 18 and 20, and about 5ft 7in.
 

• Anyone who saw the attack, which took place at about 2.20pm on September 15, should call Ilford CID on 020 8345 1626, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Well done, shame there are not more people like Mr Stapleton and less idiotic Do-gooders who are toothless wonders when it comes to stepping in, just happy to walk around wearing cranberry tinted spectacles thinking that everything is wonderful.

I hope the Police manage to arrest the suspects.

Very Public spirited actions by this young man.

GREAT WORK TOMMY !!!

We need more people like you in our community, as less idiots like those who prevented you from keeping hold of this little scumbag!

A similar thing happened to me outside the Barclay's in Wanstead a few years ago. A little ratboy had tried to snatch a pensioner's mobile phone. I grabbed him and called on other passers-by to help me hold him until the police arrived. Needless to say, no-one would help and he managed to struggle free and escape.

What a bizarre statement.

From the article "He said: “Funnily enough I was telling my friend how nice Wanstead was when I saw these guys mugging an old man. "

So by your usual bitter comments Tommy must be a cranberry tinted spectacle wearer as he thinks Wanstead is a nice place....

Sounds to me like Tommy is exactly the kind of person who likes where they live and is prepared to protect it. Probably the sort of person who doesn't spend his time criticizing every positive article on this site.

Good luck to him.

It's interesting to see that Mr Stapleton is a scaffolder: this is one of the few surviving trades where pluck, continuous physical risk assessment and individual initiative are essential parts of the tool kit.

How many people's instincts to help in such a situation have been undermined by endless demoralising considerations, not so much of 'Elf and Safety, but feeling the need to ask permission of authority?
How sad to see that the onlookers have been conditioned to take such a stereotyped, cowardly reaction.

It's good to know that such people as Mr Stapleton still live among us.

Why should a bunch of foolish women assume that the white man attempting to detain a coloured man is a "racist attack?" Would they have viewed the recent attack on a white man near Loughton station by two black men to be a "racist" matter and a"hate crime" - which it clearly was! When is this nonsense going to stop? And when will native English people realize just what New Labour immigration 'policy' has done to our country?

How nice for you. You sound charming. I personally live with my wife and children. We both have masters degrees from top uk universities but that's us degenerate scumbags for you. I think the family next door are teachers and over the road are a family of lawyers. Degenerates the lot. One of them even hosted part of the art trail round here. The things people do!

So remember everyone if you need any scaffolding done by someone who fits the loadsa money cliche and is prone to violent outbursts go with Tommy scaffolding.

From hero to villain in one week.

Fact, walthamstow is now a dump - 45 years experience tells me so. I blame the council for single handedly destroying it. That doesn't mean the people are trash. It means crime is bad, really bad.
Fact, wanstead isn't safe - police stats tell me so
Fact, doesn't matter how many masters degrees we have, muggers don't discriminate.

And I am sure mine is better than yours e17er, i suggest you look up hbs and so forth, but you are missing the point. Stick to the facts. Crime in walthamstow is dreadful. I've had my car broken into more than a dozen times around the area, had cars stolen and my house broken into three times. My MBA didn't stop them I'm afraid. And I have world famous lawyers living on my road along with a plethora of city professionals...do you think that's why (muggers) they target this area?

The issue here is where where the police? The green and surrounding area are a haven for crimes ranging from alleged drug drop offs, muggings, shocking increase in burglaries in wanstead.

And yet the local authorities insist on soft lighting on the green and the walkways. They are they real criminals.

Well done Thomas for your bravery. 10/10. 0/10 for your comments and the same for those who watched and did nothing, including calling the old bill.

Walthamstow in common with so much of London has good points and bad points. Eg William Morris Gallery good, arcade site bad.

So this is your contribution?

Walthamstow has deteriorated over the years from a thriving and lively shopping Town to a place that hardly anyone around in the 40's onwards would recognise today. the once fantastic and famous Market is practically finished and the area is hard to define culturally, but is hardly typically British or English anymore.

There is a pocket in the area known as 'The Village' where there are still efforts to preserve what once was. However, this has been ruined by the Labour Councils, who have turned a blind eye to the various religious establishments created around there, and have added to the down turn by creating modern buildings themselves completely out of keeping with the 500 year old structures and younger period properties.

The Labour Councils insist that period materials are used on a small extension say by a private individual and yet have built monstrosities themselves.

Then you have the 'Arty' Orford Road where 'Islington and Hackney Wannabees' saunter along wearing cranberry tinted spectacles, oozing contentment that they live in the village, paying extortionate prices for a cup of milky coffee and meals accompanied with 'Jus' and 'medleys'. They walk up and down that 100 yards as if they venture further even the Cranberry Specs cannot mask the reality of a depressing crime riddled area, where robberies (muggings) are rife and where there are several unsolved murders and rapes, recently committed in this very location.
They drool at the Pseudo Merchandise sold shuddering in ecstasy at the offerings (or maybe the inflated prices). 'Fifi-Boo-Boo, lets have some Baconjam on Rye Toast and an Organic Village Garden Passion fruit smoothy' one can hear in the early morning.

I can tell you what, had Mr Stapleton, rescued a victim around Walthamstow, I think he would have had an even worse reaction to that at Wanstead from the Cranberry Tinted Wearers.

'Fifi-Boo-Boo, lets have some Baconjam on Rye Toast and an Organic Village Garden Passion fruit smoothy' one can hear in the early morning. I can tell you what, had Mr Stapleton, rescued a victim around Walthamstow, I think he would have had an even worse reaction to that at Wanstead from the Cranberry Tinted Wearers. Cornbeefur

Thank you Cornbeefur for proving exactly what e17er was talking about.

Doesn't matter that the subject is a guys brave intervention you manage to rant about local people liking their area.

There is of course the marvellous irony of the fact that you spend a couple of paragraphs talking about lack of preservation whilst you are quite happy to slag off all the local efforts to save the cinema. In fact all you ever do is make snide comments from the sidelines whilst those people who you proceed to insult regularly are the ones doing activities to boost the area.

Your comments speak for themselves. The area is unrecognisable from the 40's. I should bloody hope so. The area was being bombed at that time.

It's not even worth wasting breath on the fictions you post. Several recent local unsolved murders? You've posted this nonsense before. A murder in 2002 is not several recent unsolved murders.

Walthamstow is a diverse area. It has people from all demographics. Get over yourself.

As for Tommy he has apologised for insulting the locals round here which is brave and decent thing to do. Perhaps you could take a leaf out of his book sometime and drop your bile for five minutes.

Your rantings are nonsensical. Read my comment at the start of this thread. I wholeheartedly support what Tommy has done and reiterate it again now. he has stepped in where others had not or would not and that is commendable. He is a credit to Society.

The idiots who rescued the Crook are the people I despise as they misread the situation.

Regarding the Granada Cinema (what relevance that has here only you will know as you raised the subject) I am all for the Cinema being restored to its former glory but what people like you fail to grasp is that the Cinema is owned by a Church group who want to make it into a Church. the Granada like many other Walthamstow Treasures was mismanaged along the way by the hopeless Labour Council who now purport to support saving it and like the Stow, the chances are less than slim.

To conclude. Please re-read the thread, I am not the person who deviated from the subject towards Walthamstow. As for 'trolling' you are making a fine example of the definition.

Reread the thread. Sure will do. Something you clearly haven't managed to do.

So in summary here is what happens..

First comment you. Stating that there should be more people like Mr. Stapleton and also saying that do-gooders wearing cranberry tinted spectacles would do nothing. For those of us who use this site regularly that's your standard retort to anyone who points out something positive in the area.

More comments congratulating Tommy.

Then you have E17ers comment where he points out that Tommy quite likes his area and by your usual definition of cranberry tinted spectacle wearers that makes Tommy one which makes your original comment nonsensical for those of us who have read or been attacked by your callous rantings before on this site.

More comments

Then Tommy replies to E17ers comment having mistaken it for a criticism of him. In the process he makes a (later apologised for) insulting statement about Walthamstow and its residents.

I then make a comment I hope more eloquently than E17ers that E17er had not been addressing Tommy but addressing you and your incredible track record of negativity in your posts on this site. I also suggest that he should apologize for his comment about Walthamstow.

A few follow up comments discussing that Walthamstow does indeed have its problems but that Tommy's comments were unwise and offensive.

E17er makes a comment along the same lines

Another comment about Tommy's actions being good and comment being bad.

Tommy then withdraws his comments.

Then you arrive again. Commenting on my original post with a rambling diatribe about the area where you both slate it for being ruined and full of people who are overly pleased with the area in your opinion.

I then point out that once again you take an article (any article it would seem) and manage to make it about hate for the local area with your offensive comments about the people who live here. It's helpful to give Tommy and others the context of what was originally said in the earlier comments.

Comment from E17er

You then comment again making belittling comments about people's knowledge on the cinema for example. Which is amusing as I believe the last time I commented on one of your posts was to set straight a series of 7 "Facts" about the cinema of which only one was a Fact (It is currently owned by the church) the others of which were a set of opinions that you had made up. A simple search of the site should bring that article up. As to the relevance let me put the paragraph in again for you that makes crystal clear the relevance.

"There is of course the marvellous irony of the fact that you spend a couple of paragraphs talking about lack of preservation whilst you are quite happy to slag off all the local efforts to save the cinema. In fact all you ever do is make snide comments from the sidelines whilst those people who you proceed to insult regularly are the ones doing activities to boost the area. "

You may not have been the first to mention Walthamstow but you've certainly done your usual to insult your fellow residents. That is what people are criticising you for. You do nothing to help the area and then criticise failings. Why not volunteer some time to something positive instead of posting your negativity on here.

Already detailed above when you asked for the summary of the thread. Which means you are either wilfully ignoring the actual issues or unable to comprehend them.

You obviously have some deep rooted issues.

I do not consider Cornbeefur a troll, just someone expressing an opinion the same as everyone else on here can within reason.

Opinions are fine. It is quite clear however he does not bother to listen to anyone else's opinions and resorts to tedious comments I'm more used to hearing from the under 10's when anyone questions him.

He is either doing this because he isn't capable of sustaining an adult discussion or he does it purely to wind people up.

So he is either a misfunctioning individual who cant stand disparate opinions or a malicious one as e17er states.

Though given his predilection for multiple cranberry tinted usernames perhaps both.
