I got mugged 4 years ago. Started by 2 blokes asking me for directions to a train station. His passenger asked for a cigarette and I told him I don't have one. He wasn't taking a no for an answer.
Anyway, I walked away and they drove away until a car pulled up opposite me. I turned round and all I can see was their headlights. Again car drove off into a road that bends and brings you back on the main road. I saw headlight approaching from my right, and I knew it was gonna be them! Had that vibe. It was them!
The car came to a screeching halt and the one threatening me for a cigarette got out, I actually thought it was over a cigarette and all I could think was punching this man in the jaw and get out of there!
His mate also got out, a tall man, and face covered. I knew from that moment "Shi*t" haha. I remember this gobby lad throwing a punch to my face and I moved my head at the right time! Adrenaline is a brilliant thing! Felt like time slowed down a quarter of a second.
Unfortunately I had bad footwear and couldn't out run this guy and ended up giving my wallet over! £50 and a picture of my father who passed away. The picture is the one thing I miss. But, I do think had that punch connected I would have been brought to the ground and who knows if they both would have stopped there.
Played on my mind for years but, I've gotten over it now. I know longer go out late at night. Around 3:30 am this happened. Due to what was going on I didn't get a glimpse of their number plate. They got away. I just hope no one else suffered too much at the hands of these monsters!
