Man attacked as he walked home
A MAN was attacked by a group of teenagers as he was walked home.
The Brentwood man was walking home from Brentwood railway station in the Hawthorne estate, between 1.30am to 2am on Saturday*May 10*.
Around Orchard Avenue, the 36-year-old came across a group of young men in their mid-to-late teens, who attacked him.
Relatives later found the man collapsed at home. He was taken by ambulance to Queen's Hospital Romford, where he was treated for a head injury and a possible fractured shoulder.
Det Con Guy Hayward, said: "We're appealing for anyone who may have witnessed this attack or who may have seen the victim or the group of young men, to contact me and shed light on what happened."

By the 'Hawthorne Estate', one assumes that the journalist, who obviously does not live in Brentwood, means the Three Arches Estate. In addition, Hawthorn is spelt without an 'e'.
Are there any local journalists in the employment of this paper?

Does it matter about the spellings and who works where John, am sure you wouldn't be worried about it if it was you that was attacked. I know the guy who was attacked and it had to be an unprovoked attack, as he would never offend anyone, let alone start a fight. Hope the attackers read this, cause would like to say what a bunch of low life scum they are, and they proved this Saturday. Not really big brave boys are they, having to attack in a group, like silly little school boys in the playground.

Can I say in response to 'bones, mind your own buisness' that my comment in this public forum was regarding that accuracy of the report, nothing more than that. Clearly the events on Orchard Avenue are incredibly unfortunate and I hope that they catch the attackers who 'done over' your mate.
