00:00I've been mugged on two occasions in London, and on both of them, it was me and there were two
00:07men.
00:08Now, I mean, I... Did I fight back? I didn't have an opportunity to the first time at all.
00:14I ended up on the ground and sort of curled up in the fetal position, and I thought that I
00:21might be safe there,
00:22and that because it was so public on a public pavement, that people would stop and help me.
00:27They tend to get their cameras out these days, their phones out and film it instead, don't they,
00:31rather than actually joining in, because they're probably as afraid that they may get mugged themselves.
00:35Were they after anything in particular?
00:37Well, they wanted my handbag, and because I was curled, and at the point when one of them kicked my
00:43head,
00:43and I suddenly thought, actually, having concussion is not worth it, and I just did that and let them take
00:50my handbag.
00:51But I then got up and chased them in the hope that somebody might stick a foot out and stop
00:56them from running away,
00:57but they were like a pair of young gazelles, and I was in heels, and there was no contest, really.
