Anyone know if this is the reason the police were around the main entrance to Birkenhead Park on Conway Street at around 3:30pm today?

They looked like they were waiting to collar people on buses.

It did look that way but surely they wouldn't need that many police officers and riot vans?

Maybe there was a sale at the pine furniture shop over the way and they were expecting IKEAesque violence?

got told a bus driver had been stabbed! taken with a pinch of salt! until hear other wise tho!

few months ago I was on a bus that was stopped there and ticket inspectors got on the bus while several police waited just outside

police got on my daughters bus she was on around that time and arrested two males.

Says a lot when ticket inspectors require police back up? Flaming eck!

with some of the kids of today, you would need the army as back up.

around here yeah that's true haha

ohh right, wonder what it was about. Seemed to be alot of police around.
