Very restrained marines & very understanding police. Hopefully he was sent down when he recovered from his fall.  ;D

[Kwikasfuki]

Sounds like a terrible fall

[routemaster]

Falling off a kerb is very dangerous and can result in some very serious injuries - fair play to the marines for being so restrained  :)

That was today's lesson on how not to believe everything you read on the internet - at least it brought a smile to the faces of a few people at work today

 ;D that's bloody funny ;D

Some kerbs are quite high though and it's lucky those boys were there, the poor chap could have died.

... and of course in the UK  he'd sue the council for the kerb being there!

Its a good job those soldiers didn't get REALLY angry.

[Rusty]

Sounds like his injuries were entirely proportionate with falling from such a high kerb !

Reminds me when my mate got a caning at school after a fight
"He ran into my fist sir"

[Boomer]

The Marines must be getting soft. No reports of a bleeding rectum or crushed testes.  ;D

[pembsgtr]

They weren't real marines they were of the US type not the Royal type

This story was quoted by Clarkson in the Sun newspaper this week even though the falling of the kerb bit is now known to be fake!!!!!!!
