The President of the Ipswich Residents’ and Ratepayers’ Association, Jim Dodrill, has been treated in hospital for injuries after he and his father were attacked by about 20 people in a parkland. Fifty-two-year-old Jim Dodrill and his 73-year-old father went to the park to meet a stranger who’d raised concerns about trail-bike riding and four-wheel-driving in the area. When they were spotted trying to take photos of the drivers of the bikes and off-roaders, they were surrounded and beaten with bottles, rocks and a pole.
