THE attack on Daryl Armstrong last Friday in Carterton was disgusting, cowardly and pathetic.

Not only was he vastly outnumbered, he had only been trying to do his civic duty, which might even had done those horrible violent thugs some good as well if they had listened.

To compound their disgusting behaviour, these vile teenagers even attacked Mr Armstrong's wife, a carer, and all of it in front of their two small boys.

The fact that people in Carterton say this troupe of animals are infamous in the area for causing problems comes as no surprise whatsoever.

Dozens of people in the town will know exactly how these thugs are and can help the police with their investigation to make sure justice is done.

At a time when the vast, vast majority of our country is making huge sacrifices for the greater good, the idea of these pathetic low-lives unleashing their pent-up insecurities and aggression on an innocent father is quite simply sickening.

If you live in Carterton, or anywhere, and you know information which could lead to justice for the entire Armstrong family, call the police today on 101.
