KEVAN JOHN OODLES’
POLICE CONSTABLE 60.
Together with other officers I gave chase and aanaged to grab hold of a young Ban who
was obviously very upset and was shouting threats towards the Spion Kop#I took the man
to one side and was able to calm him down.I then escorted him back to the halfway line
and watched him walk back towards the Leppings Lane end,At this time together with other
officers I was ordered to form acordon along the halfway line,After a few minutes together
with other officers I was ordered to exit the ground and attend at the rear of the Leppings
Lane stand.
I attended in the enclosed area behind the Leppings Lane turnstiles and stood by there
until it was announced over the tannoy that the natch had been abandoned when we assisted
fans to leave the stand,During the m time that the fans were k leaving the stand all officers
present were subjected to verbal abuse from numerous people,At this tine we were greatly
assisted by twos liverpool fans who told other support ess which gate to leave by.
After the stand had been evacuated I was ordered with other officers to the North stand
where after a short time we were spoken to by senior officers and stfeod down.
As we left via the rear of the North stand myself and other *F* division officers were
asked to form a cordon to prevent press men from harassing emergency personnel who were
working at the rear of the North stand.This was done for a short time and the we were relieved
by other officerstwe stood down at 7.15pm*
