Bl**dy hell Jez,
Am not fully conversant with the law/s but I'd personally have just gone back down. Am not suggesting for a split second that you weren't game to but ,,, (any coppers in the house who can clarify?). Thankfully all ended up alright - despite the (seemingly) incompetence of the rescue squad.

Not to hijack your thread, but I recently had a nasty run-in with a PSO (Protective Services Officer) on strolling home from my local pub: Was stood at the boom gates which were down and I hear a whistle and look over. PSO's clicking his fingers and I look around as if there's a lost dog somewhere. "Oi You, over 'ere now" he goes so I cross and front up.
Ticket book out and "Am gonna have to issue you an infringement notice and fine for that" , "yer wot occifer"? "Crossing there" ,,, "but I didn't cross coz you called me over, how long have you been out of school and what you on about?" (he looked about 19).
"ID". Hands over Drivers' License and he calls me in to the Williamstown old bill. "Clean as whistle, got nothing on Robert Andrew Pollitt" I hear over the radio.
By which time my mate who drives the trains has passed and given us an extra LONG, LOUD 'TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT'. "See? you idiot", but that upset him (and he has a badge and a fckn gun but I'm not just pished Up but pished Off not so run verbal rings around him coz he doesn't know his ar*e from his elbow. What a total tw*t.

As with your tale above Jez all turned out OK in the finish.
Cheers,
AP.
