This is shocking. I'm not surprised that you feel fear, and I'm also glad that you choose to be discreet about that.

Do you think you could take more steps to advertise your disability, such that arseholes wouldn't hurt you? Maybe use a wheelchair or walking frame when it suits you to do so, returning to your crutch when that's more convenient? I don't know what you look like but I'm wondering whether you somehow look like somebody to whom this kind of crap can be done. I don't know why, but I seem not to look that way (my userpic is a recent photo: I aim to look quite innocuous) although I did get a few people barging rudely past me when I used one of those walking sticks that folds out into a 3-legged chair. I've even had a few people climb past my wheelchair as though I were just furniture, which is rude, but as least it doesn't involve making me fall. People like us have plenty of falls and bruises already - we don't need help from random wankers.
