Colin James Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 The police have put up a cordon in Eign Road outside the Brewers Arms. West Mercia Police release this statement OPERATION TRILBY– Community Update from Superintendent Ivan Powell I am the policing commander for Herefordshire and think it is vitally important that I communicate clearly with local residents following a serious incident that took place in the early hours of this morning, Sunday the 24th of November 2013.Operation Trilby is the operational name allocated by police into the investigation of a stabbing incident. The way in which events unfolded is as follows:At approximately 04:40am on the 24th of November 2013, police received a telephone call from the ambulance service telling us they were responding to a report of a man who had been stabbed in the Brewers Arms Public house in Hereford. A significant number of police resources were deployed to several locations in relation to this incident. These resources included firearms officers, plain clothes and uniform response officers. Other specialist officers are also involved. At around 4.54 am, only 14 minutes after the call, two persons were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder by taser equipped officers. Both remain in police custody at this time. This was an extremely fast moving investigation that required the deployment a significant number of police resources. I would like to re-iterate some key messages: Within 15 minutes of the call being made, two persons were under arrest and there is no longer any threat to the community.The victim and suspect are believed to be known to each other and there is no evidence to suggest that any other member of the public is at risk of harm. We have significant policing resources committed to the investigative interviewing, forensic investigation, crime scene searches and house to house enquiries. I would also like to thank the local community in Hereford for their understanding and support during this police operation. Whilst the identity of the injured male is known to some members of the community, his identity will be confirmed in due course. At this time, his injuries are not thought to be life threatening. Our thoughts are with him and his family at this difficult time, but please be reassured we continue to provide them with personal support. It is important for me to acknowledge that this is a serious incident, but please be reassured this type of event is very rare, and there is no longer a threat to the community of Herefordshire. Members of the public who believe that they have information that may be relevant to the police investigation are to contact West Mercia Police on 101 and ask for officers at Hereford, or please approach any of my staff who will be patrolling your areas whilst they conduct house to house enquiries over the next few days.

dippyhippy Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Naughty Naughty Ubique! Well, at least you can have your say quite freely on here! Have to say though, with the amount of sometimes quite contentious comments,that seems like a pretty poor reason for giving you the old heave ho.

Ubique Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 I do not have any inside knowledge but the people involved maybe residents of the pub and therefore the time is irrelevant . Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobby47 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Poor sod! He never stood a chance. Surely when this poor baby was christened or registered at birth, some fool must have said, 'hang on. Do you think this is going to give this little lad the heads up if ever he wants to join the Police or engage in any career involving him watching over money' I mean I'd sooner have been given the name bloody Adolf than Gypsy Outlaw. Bloody Gypsy Outlaw! Poor sod. It's no wonder he's got a short temper. I've been trawling through the names you can give kids and nowhere does Gypsy Outlaw come up. If the name ain't on the list then as far as Im concerned, that's it. Here's the list. Pick one and clear off. And as for the Police and these ridiculous Operational names, why can't they pick something more appropriate rather than bloody Trilby. If I was laid up in bed, skewered by a bloody butter knife, the last thing I want to hear is my stabbing has been called bloody Trilby or worse Pork bloody Pie. It's silly and its got to stop. If ever I got into power that'd be the first thing I did. Lets have some proper Operational names like, Operation Stabbing down the Brewers Arms or Operation Gypsy stabbed someone.
