Really sorry to hear about your experience. I just logged on to see whether anyone had posted about another incident last night, and saw this thread. I live on Hayes Grove and a girl was mugged right outside our block at about midnight last night - Monday 2nd April. I was in bed and heard awful screaming from outside. I felt it could be idiots mucking around, but the screaming was so horrendous I had a look out of the window. I saw a girl coming into our block but assumed she lived here - I have not lived in the block long and don't know all the faces as yet. All seemed normal so I thought nothing else of it. But it turns out she was the one who had been mugged - again, female and in her 30s. She is friends with my neighbour and so she just came knocking on the door for help, since it had happened right outside. The attacker was a black man with a cap and a hoody I believe. I am a bit sketchy on the description as I have only just found out about all this but the cap might have been red if I remember rightly. The girl was walking through from ED station, via Vale End then Hayes Grove, to get to her own street. The guy attacked her by the bin sheds of our block....on Hayes Grove, very close to Copleston Road. He only got away with her yoga bag - she wears a handbag that crosses her body which made that too difficult thankfully. He approached from behind and when she turned to him, having heard something behind her, he covered her mouth and wrestled her bag off her. So it seems there is a bit of a trend going on at the moment and we all need to be aware. Spread the word!
