From our team - out on a rainy Saturday night --6th of July."We then progressed down Baldwin Street and came across a chap resting his head on his arms leaning on the rail at Bristol Bridge.Remembering to keep a safe distance, I tried to engage him in conversation, but he was distrustful saying he didn't know who we were. What I hadn't remembered from the training is that it's a good idea start a conversation by introducing ourselves using first names and explaining why we're there... What we gradually got out of him was his name, that he had been assaulted, was very angry, suffering from mental ill health, was 'with the Crisis Team', and needed some medication. Again Google provided us with the number for Emergency Mental Health support (0300 555 0334), which we called but it went to voicemail. At this point we called an ambulance. By now, the chap was responding less, and gradually progressed from leaning against the railings to leaning at 45 degrees, to very gently collapsing into a plausible recovery position by the railings. Given that it had now started raining, we covered him with one space blanket, and used another to protect his head from the railings (he didn't seem amenable to being moved).The ambulance came within 20 minutes and we were able to leave him in the care of three paramedics." ...

From our Patrol on the 15th of June:At the Lanes, the lady at the door said she thought there may be someone on the pavement in Bridewell Street, which was temporarily closed to traffic because of building works, but had been unable to leave her post to investigate. We walked straight there, finding a man lying on his back and breathing but not responsive. He showed no sign of being drunk or injured, so we rolled him gently onto his side and he was sick. He became partly conscious but it was difficult to get much sense from him. Assuming that he was affected by drugs, we called for an ambulance and two arrived together within a few minutes. We left him to the capable ministrations of three female paramedics and returned to thank the door lady at the Lanes. Nearby were two women in a doorway; we stopped to talk briefly and gave them some Billy Chips and lollipops. ... See MoreSee Less
