There are calls for people who attack door staff at nightclubs, bars and music venues to get the same tougher sentences as those who target emergency workers. The idea comes from the industry body - the UK Door Security Agency - after more than a thousand door supervisors told the BBC they had faced physical abuse on shift. More than six hundred said they faced some form of mistreatment from the public on a weekly basis. For this episode of 5 Minutes On by BBC reporter, Ashley John-Baptiste - we hear Olivia's story.
