Dudley lout walks into Lamp Post

A lout in Dudley who was shouting abuse and making rude gestures at CCTV, was then filmed walking face first into a lamp post.

The man was in Dudley High Street when he spotted the camera  one of several in the town on the look-out for anti-social behaviour or criminal activity  and began aiming insults down the lens.

However, whilst focusing on abusing the camera operator he didn't notice a lamp-post in his path  and seconds later received a slap in the face for his poor behaviour.

Local neighbourhood police Sergeant Rob Simpson, said: "I guess you could call it swift divine intervention! Camera operators are here with the sole aim of keeping our communities safe and monitoring suspicious behaviour  they don't deserve abuse.
