Mugging

"I went out to meet a friend in central London and the tubes had closed. I didn’t know which bus I could get and didn’t want to be ripped off by a taxi driver, so I decided to walk back and was completely sober. I was around the corner from Camden campus when I noticed a group of three youths (1 boy and 2 girls) walking towards me. I crossed the road and they crossed behind me. They walked up the road parallel to Royal College Street and as I started walking up Royal College Street they appeared from the housing estate opposite campus. The lad shouted for a lighter and I replied I didn’t smoke, they then crossed the road towards me and asked for a cigarette and I said I don’t smoke. They then ran and grabbed me and said 'give us your money'. They kicked and punched, hit me with a glass bottle, and threatened to stab me and while I tried to fight them off. They eventually got my money, but I kept my phone and called the police. The police caught them and retrieved my wallet and £90 I had in it, and I was taken to A&E for treatment."
