Abridged from the parks website.
On Thursday 31st July, a small group of Chinese students from an English language school in Oxford threw stones at the Lions and shattered one of the glass viewing windows. The window itself remained in place and at no point was there a danger to the public, or to the Lions.
Numerous visitors at the scene phoned the Park's office to alert us and photographed the offending Chinese students, so that within minutes all were apprehended. The Police also responded very promptly.
The School has sent the offending students back to China and has agreed to pay for the damage caused. All of us at the Park would like to thank those many visitors that day who ensured that these people were caught, and Thames Valley Police for their assistance.
