Attempted mugging St Aidan's Road/Underhill Road

[PRyeEmma]

A couple of school age boys tried to take my bag from me yesterday morning (9.30am) at the top of St Aidan's Road. I was very lucky and the combination of my formerly hidden feral nature and a lovely lady who pulled over in her car meant that nothing was taken and I was completely unhurt.

I'd like to thank her and those that came out of their houses to see what all the screaming was about (and to apologise for my pretty horrendous swearing during the incident).

Although I am making light of the incident, I was very shaken up yesterday and it would have been a different story without intervention. I've lived here for years and yeards and while this was probably a one-off, I know I should make sure you all know to be careful.

I have reported it and was not on my phone at the time.

Thanks for letting us know. Hope you are feeling less shaken today. Horrible thing to happen, but great that people helped.

That?s awful. You say school age children so they should have been at school at that time. Were they wearing their school uniform?
