Two police officers cower in their patrol car as it is surrounded by 100 teenagers pelting the vehicle with snowballs.

The gang shouted "Got 'em" as they carried out their attack. One teenager posted the attack on YouTube.

At least one officer was seen racing to the vehicle and quickly closing the door before the two-minute barrage began.

Next year the fuzz will be out in force with their very own snow canons to help curb the frosty rabble.

Actually, I'd like to see that...wonder if they'd post the training videos online....

At one time the London cops did not carry guns.. is it still the same today? They had to call for a vehicle to come to the place they were to have a gun given to them.... can you imagine that here..

This is where the police should have called the fire dept for backup, the fire dept do have those big hoses! I'm sure they didn't forget how to use their radio's, did they??

Yeah, but, you guys do realize that a few snowballs are no match for a well-manned three-inch fire hose that shoots out water at roughly 100 gallons a second. ;-D

Police are hampered by your rights.. take away those rights and what do you have.. a dead person laying near them.

So much for the British "stiff upper lip". They should have called for backup and returned "fire."

I'm sure that would have at least put a little damper on the situation. Brrrrr.

FYI, I love Super Soakers. Especially at the lake in the summer. No one even thinks about taking a nap when I'm around with a soaker. =}
