Yesterday around 4pm someone attempted to mug my 13year old son on the corner of Ryedale and Cornflower Terrace. A white male, red hair, freckles and wearing a green coat. He tried to reach inside my son's pocket for his phone and tried to hit his face. Police have been informed.

I watched three back to back episodes of 'The Punisher' last night - but I'd still say report his whereabouts on 101.

I think Cella meant my comment about The Punisher (which implies vigilantism)

There has been a spate of school children mugging s this term. This was raised with the Met borough commander at the DCC meeting last night. There will be more foot patrol and extra officers during February. The police said that, Iva child is mugged, they should speak to the nearest adult or go to a shop. Then call 999.

Was he in school uniform?


I've been told that The Charter School students are being targeted because they are seen as being wealthy.


Thank you for letting us all know. I hope your son is ok.


I hope that the additional officers is not just for Feb but ongoing from February.

Sadly, if he is happy to physically attack a stranger in the street with the intention of robbing him, the assailant is most unlikely to have a road to Damascus moment unless and until he is caught.

OP - I hope your son is ok. What sort of age was the mugger and did your son think he may have had a school uniform under his green coat??

Just witnessed someone get mugged coop end of ryedale.. two teenagers red puffer and black puffer. Has been reported to police but if anyone sees anything. Victim was also a female (not school age) on her phone, she got jumped quite heavily from behind so just be careful everyone!

So worrying to hear about these attacks.

My 13 year old was robbed by two older boys near East Dulwich station back in December at 5pm, with quite a few people around.

This Friday just gone, he was followed after leaving Dulwich Leisure Centre at around 6pm by an older teen on his bike, who got a bit nasty and threatening, luckily son decided to run across the road sharpish towards home, and got away.

I don't think pupils from any particular school are being targeted, just anyone walking alone who might seem like easy prey for a quick robbery.

My previously confident son who has travelled quite happily to and from school, and elsewhere for the last 2-3 years is really nervous now. Such a shame for him.

We reported the first incident online, and did receive a police visit.

    • Aria did a good job fixing a leak in our bathroom. He was very thorough and made two extra visits to make sure the job was done well. Highly recommended.
    • As a diminutive (5ft 1) woman who regularly attends the park with her four children - all under 5; two of them (twins) in a push-chair - the thread caught my eye. If there identifiable troublemakers likely to be there I want to know what they look like so I can avoid them. Isn't that "strange" of me, wishing to avoid harm coming to my children?? 😲 I have been discussing the ludicrous responses to this thread 🧵 (which I bet £100 exclusively emanate from bourgeois native Brits) with work colleagues (you would be hard pressed to find a more 'diverse' bunch in terms of age and ethnicity - except we are all female). One colleague (a Ukranian lady) made a perceptive observation that everyone seemed to agree with. When British newspapers and news websites mention an offender (e.g. 'police are asking the general public for assistance in seeking the alleged offender who is a middle-aged male'), she always assumes the offender is not of white British heritage since, if the offender is white this is usually mentioned, but seldom the other way around. Until recently racial prejudice was a thing of the past (unless in the most hardcore of families), now it is creeping back and one important factor is the perception that the indigenous general public are not being treated fairly with this sort of dishonest - some would say activist - reportage. An attitude that clearly informed the bizarre claim that my concerned inquiry was  "strange". Fact is it was anything but strange. What is strange is people denying the evidence of their own eyes and - in this case - casting aspersions on a concerned parent. 
    • Yesterday we received about 3 weeks worth of post. This included duplicate documents where we'd had to ask for another copy since the first copy never arrived, bank papers, my new driving licence and one mis-delivery.  We'd spent ages in the last few weeks either on the phone or convoluted websites trying to chase these things. I'd rally like to co,plain but have a feeling I'd be wasting my time.
