Im 22 and recently got into photography. Through talking about it I also recruited my fiances brother who is now doing a tog course at school. Part of his course is to take pictures of water and relection so, being a still night, I took him down to the clyde opposite the type 45 destroyers being constructed in the docs.
After getting quite a few decent long exposures with fascinating reflections, we started to walk back to my car. On the walk we found a great statue and set up again when 2 young boys and a girl, highly intoxicated, meandered along and started trying to push my tripod over. After 10 minutes of arguing and trying to diffuse the situation the smaller of the two (17 and with a clear napolean complex) became more hostile and punched me full force in the side of the head. Obviously shaken that I didnt hit the deck he ran off with his counterparts.
Upon returning home I informed the police who came out and interviewed me. They then told me that a) they will never catch them (despite an incredibly accurate description of the people) b) that if they find out I hit them back then I will be prosecuted as they are minors (what a joke) and finally c) that its a dangerous area that they dont even go to and that I should just not go there.
So in conclusion, you cant defend yourself, police wont get them, and its my fault for wanting to take photos. Smashing!!!!!
