Attacked after office hours... What will you do???

Can't you do anything to get the company to post a guard? Here they would do that for fear of a lawsuit? If you can't do that, can you alert the police and ask them to stop by every so often?

As usual due to your country's policies and laws, you can do nothing. Since I don't know the particulars of his beating or why he was beaten...all I can say is stand clear yourself..............for various reasons....... Talk to this man but keep your distance as you too can be pin pointed with this man and his dealings. At this point you of all people need not be more involved than to offer him physical help and that is ALL. Keep your self clean and calm. Stay clear. You have more important things to look forward to. quita

Im confused. Why cant he go to the police if he knows who's responsible? His company should set up security for all its employees. Every company should make sure their employees enter and exit safely. Especially at midnight hours. I would sue if they dont provide security. He'll win. Then he'll own the company and be sure to have security and fire all those who didnt help him. Does your company want that? I wonder..... dl

Hi, mr_pearl. I know that this may be rough on you. But you have to contact the police and give them a full description of the attackers. Did your colleague ever tell you where did they take him when they kidnapped him? Did he remember this incident well? Kidnapping is a huge crime. I am so sorry that you had to witness this. And I know that going to the police could make matters worse because these men may have other guys that are involved into their gang too. They may not have been present when this happened, but they may know how to find you and any other colleague that witnessed this attack and kidnapping. Going to the police is about the best way so that these people will all be held liable for what they have done. I am glad that you are okay. Take care and stay safe as much as possible.

why won't he be given protection by your company? is your company legit? most companies, if not all, have the responsibility of protecting their employee. this happened in the middle of the work hours. even if it happened outside the premises, the mere fact that he was reporting for work, the company should give assistance. also, how ruthless it is for your management not to give the guy days off from work. he was beaten, for Christ's sake. just my personal blurb, i wouldn't work for a company who won't show protection for its people. you said you know who did this horrible thing to your friend. you can give a list of suspect. do not be afraid of the threats. the law ought to protect you. you can have these people on the police's blotter list. this will give your friend a sense of protection because they wouldn't dare hurt him again because they are on the watch list. your friend shouldn't hide under the fear. make noise. make the people be aware of what happened to him (if he would personally give you permission) so that the suspects would be a little apprehensive because they know that people are aware. you have to do everything to get him protected in right ways. do not just let him take cover under the threats. i hope he's always safe. he should be surrounded with friends and other people so that it would minimize potential risks.

I don´t understand your story because although in my country, as in everywhere, there´s violence, when we know you they are there´s the police. Why can´t legal help be of any use? How come your place of work will not give you leave if you are sick or wounded? It is a world I don´t understand so I can´t give an opinion. Please, explain further, if you can! I am very sorry this happens.

oww........such a terrible. i will seek my friends help or maybe i will buy agun to protect myself. and i will try not to be alone.
