to be honest it all happened so quickly it's hard to give a really good description. but you're not far off bigbadwolf, they were quite young, early 20s, no hoodies but one was wearing a bandana (black and white we think) which the police said sounds like one of the local gangs, baggy low slung jeans etc. it was all very scary and intimidating. they looked like they were just wandering the quiet streets looking for something to happen, and it certainly felt like it wasn't the first time they'd done it. they ran off up dunstans road (towards forest hill end), which is the direction they initially came from.

Last night my boyfriend and I were mugged by a group of 4 or 5 boys, it all happened very quickly, just after 12am. It happened on the crossroads by Dunstans Rd/Underhill Rd. They ran after us and jumped my boyfriend, punching and kicking him, and then a couple of them cornered me to stop me screaming. They didn't want our cash cards or my handbag, just seemed to want cash or mobiles. We reported the incident to the police and they've said there have been a number of incidents recently of reports of a group of boys targeting couples around East Dulwich. A big thank you to the lady who banged on her window and helped scare the boys off, I don't know what we'd have done otherwise.
