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.

Good reasons :)

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
