"Oi, come here lad"

Somehow I don't think that is precisely what the police were shouting.... doesn't sound like American idiom!

“Somehow I don’t think that is precisely what the police were shouting.... doesn’t sound like American idiom!”

If by “Oi, come here lad,” he meant “hey, come here, you stupid son of a b!tch!” then, maybe he’d be right.

Exactly. No one in the American West talks like that, ever, unless they were born in Australia.

More than likely it was something like, “Hey, you f’ing idiot, come with us.”
