To the members of the public who assisted the young lady after she had her phone snatched at Goose Green yesterday evening (7pm).


The guy ran past her, taking the phone out of her hand and made off at speed up East Dulwich road towards Peckham Rye. She SCREAMED at such a level that passers-by gave chase, cars tried to block him off.


Next thing you know he was cornered. Ran back in her direction and gave back the phone. Made off down towards Grove Vale but not before a motorist mounted the pavement by the zebra crossing and nearly collared him. He made off up Tintagel Crescent. Great to see.

Exactly Jessie


Many parents on here will have kids who for a short period might end up doing "no good"


I'm pretty sure they would like a knock on the door from a policeman with their offspring intact and a word to be had, not actually maimed or killed

If the police had been called it unlikely the phone would have been returned to its owner as their response time is not going to be that quick. No one actually said this was a 'kid' or that there was any attempt to maim or kill whoever it was.

Alan - several people have posted they wish he had been run over. That is who I'm addressing


Noone has said it was a kid, that's true, but are you suggesting it makes a difference to the support or otherwise - "yeah if it's a young 'un, don't run him over, but if he is say, 25, then go for it"


Like the OP and Otta, I'm glad people stepped in to help and try and apprehend him - but subsequent posts crossed a line

There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor.

The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
