Homeless man attacked by actor Alan Davies
The last thing that the actor, who plays Jonathan Creek on the BBC and is a panellist on the BBC's QI show, needs when he comes out of night club at 2am, after a heavy drinking session, is for him to be recognised by a fan of Jonathan Creek and greeted by that name. Nevertheless, there was no excuse for Alan Davies to launch a vicious assault, upon the homeless and jobless Paul McElfatrick by biting his ear and drawing blood. In the Daily Mirror article Paul McElfatrick, from stills taken from CCTV footage, can be seen offering his hand to shake by the actor. In return he is not offered a friendly hand shake but is instead the subject of a vicious attack. What makes it worse in my eyes is that Alan Davies later found the incident amusing, and he apologised by text to a woman friend the next morning for his conduct but failed to apologise to the man he had attacked.
I suppose that the police are too busy shooting innocent Brazilian electricians to bring this criminal to book?
And, no doubt the BBC will employ him again even though his conduct is not what people expect for their TV licence fee?
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
