I was walking home across a housing estate, it was just getting dark and I heard a woman shouting 'Help Help'. I ran to were she was on a small patch of grass and a youth aged around 20 had stopped on his bike and was violently trying to grab this ladys handbag off of her. I could see clearly that the woman was in in danger and she has blood on her face (He had punched her in th face before I had arrived). Without thinking I ran at him and pulldozed him to the ground (I didnt know at the time but he fractures his rist when he went over). I grabbed him and gave to the woman my mobile phone to call the police. I held him there for a few minutes until police arrived (Being called every name under the sun by him of course). When the police arrived he was arrested and put into a cop car. The police and lady thanked me repeatedly. The police got into the car...and then a few minutes later they got back out and told me that I was under arrest for assault as the man said he's pressing charges

I would get myself a good lawyer.
The law should have been your side but wasn't.
It makes you think twice about being a good Samaritan. Good luck.

I think you are the one that got robbed. I don't know what kind of story the kid told the police, but if they were any kind of officers your story should have been similar to the womans who was being attacked. Also everone is so darn sue happy the officers are covering themselves so they don't take responsibility for injuring the attacker during the arrest. I think once it goes to court the lady and your stories will make justice work and none to worry. But it is a shame you would have to go through this. I mean you would still have to be in court as a witness and not as an offender.

Yep. A creep like that will do anything to get outta trouble. I think you will have the charges dropped though when the lady tells the judge you were defending her.

Go to court and explain to the court what happened. This guy is obviously a scumbag.
