ANOTHER day, another incident in Boscombe, or so it seems to some of the locals.

A man suffered head injuries inflicted by someone wielding a knife of some kind on Saturday.

The automatic assumption is that is it was drugs related, although so far there is no evidence to leap to that conclusion. And that’s part of the problem, in that a belief exists that drugs are at the root of all ills in Boscombe.

The latest incident should not obscure all the good community work being done, but there is much still to do.Bournemouth Echo: Armed police swoop in Boscombe after man is attacked with bladed weapon and suffers head injuries
