I've been beaten up on a large field at night. Was walking with a group of friends to one of their houses for a party, and a local chav gang, who were waiting for a non-showing rival gang turn up, decided to try their luck with us instead.

Given that I was one of the larger ones (5' 11 at about 16 yrs - not massive, but I'm not skinny either, compared to the rest of my friends), I was isolated from my friends as we walked past.

Was chased by a drunk midget (short man syndrome) who called to his friends to come over to me, as I was trying to walk away.

I turned to faced him and laughed, then got hit in the back of the head. Turned around, and was hit by the midget. By this time I was surrounded by about 10 guys.

I was never hit in the face, they only hit me from behind, and when I turned, it was time for another, until I fell to the floor, dazed, and was kicked by the midget in the ribs (the others had lost interest, and were telling him to stop.)

Then a girl in our group came to him and started to beat the hell into him, saying "You going to hit a fucking girl then?". She stopped, and they ran away as the police came.. I'd been trying to get to the local village police, since they were just through an alley onto the main road from the field, although I didn't make it. Another of my friends had called the police though, so they came.

Couple of other guys got black eyes. No arrests or anything though, since the police are largely ineffective at this kind of thing. I was told they thought they knew who they were, but I'd need to testify in court to get anything to happen, and it wouldn't be long sentence, so I didn't bother - opted to keep it out of my parent's worry.

Could have been worse, although I was packing myself properly throughout the duration.
