Just thought people might want to know.

My other half got of the bus at the Townley Road stop on East Dulwich Grove coming from Herne Hill.

When he got off the bus he was followed by five guys. It was by pure luck he managed to dodge one of them as they attempted to punch him to the ground, he then ran into the pizza place and called the police.

It happened just after midnight last night along that stretch of road opposite Dulwich Hospital at a point when there was no traffic.

Please keep aware and keep safe

Hi


Yes the police were called. They could not find the guys once they arrived. Although they were quick to respond they had long run off. They gave him a lift home and took a statement and as much of a description as could be given. As he had managed to avoid injury and the mugging no crime had actually been committed so nothing official gets reported.


No they hadn't been on the bus they came out of Green Dale


He was wearing head phones but nothing else visible just carrying his over shoulder nondescript bag


He was very lucky

I'm glad he was ok & thanks for posting as a warning.


Typical of the police to say there was no crime, so they don't have to record it as unresolved. But if the guys attempted to punch him resulting in him running away/avoiding the punch, that is technically an assault. They only have to take an action which causes fear of violence. The police should record it as a crime.

if you were intimidated at school you wouldn't accept it


why should you in life.

    • You keep insisting that you're "just stating facts", but so far, most of what you've shared isn't fact - it's just your personal opinion, framed with hostility.  Foxes aren't classified as "vermin" in the UK. They're wild animals protected under the Animal Welfare Act & the Wildlife & Countryside Act . & Yes, they do play a vital role in controlling rodent population. The more you double down on insults & misinformation, the more you discredit your own argument. It's possible to be fed up & still informed. Take the information provided to you & do something about it. BTW culling doesn't even work.
    • It’s hardly likely you know that for a fact Sue
    • I know an instance where the foxes quickly learned how to avoid such devices. 
    • I did read the comments above It's not moaning, it's stating facts. Tell you what,  you can come and clear up the near daily fox crap and see how you like dealing with it, no didn't think that would appeal to you.  Do they control rodents?  Foxes are vermin.  It's an emotive topic for some, I realise that, however the facts are foxes are a pest.
