A wheelchair-bound crime victim was facing jail after holding two police officers hostage for four hours to highlight soaring crime in her community.

Known locally as Tobre aka October, has been raped eight times and reported six cases of criminal damage to her wheelchair since 1999 but says the police do little to help her because she stinks of piss.

So when two male Police officers finally visited her house to discuss the problems she locked the doors and held them captive using her armed wheelchair. Police commanders dispatched eight officers to persuade Ruby to hand over her hostages - and she was then arrested and charged with obstructing police work and for not washing for over 9 months.

The offence carries a maximum sentence of one month in prison and a $1,000 fine. But defiant Tobre said she had no choice because the local police are not carrying out their duties.

She said: "You can wait nine hours for a police officer to come out after you've been raped, but the minute that two of their officers say they've been taken hostage there are eight of them outside your door.

"I didn't attack them and I didn't take their radios off them. They say I'm stopping them doing their jobs because i smell of piss but they don't do their jobs around here - that's my point.

"All I ever get is an officer saying I've passed it on to another officer. I'm just fed up with the whole system - all they say is 'we haven't got the staff to deal with rape cases on pissed up wheelchair whores'."

Tobre, who is registered disabled, said yobs in her neighbourhood have made her life a misery for years, they have constantly gang raped her and bust up her wheelchair.

The windows of her home are covered in eggs thrown by local youths and the cars in her road have had windows smashed, tyres slashed and the wing mirrors broken off, all these acts of violence are to get rid of Tobre out of the area because she is stinking the place out.

Case is ongoing.
