Lecturer takes Mopac to court over plans to axe more than half of London's police stations

Paul Kohler outside the High Court today
A LECTURER who was rescued from a vicious attack in his own home by police officers stationed just 200 metres away took his case to the High Court today in an effort to block a decision to close more than half of London’s police stations.
Paul Kohler, 59, a senior lecturer at SOAS, University of London, was brutally beaten by four men during a burglary in Wimbledon in August 2014.
The attack was only stopped when a police officer jumped on one of his assailants “just as he was about to bring a heavy wooden door down on [Mr Kohler’s] head”.
