Attempted Mugging Belvoir Road

[LauraLou]

Just a warning for people to be extra vigilant, I was followed by a white male along belvoir road at midnight tonight. I only got away by making a run for it. He had a dark blue coat, with hood and little hair. Reported to 101

What did he actually do wrong?

Wow there oliver - you might want to reframe your question,

How about

"Really sorry to hear about your experience Laura. Can you tell us a bit more about what happened, so we can watch out for strange behaviour?"

Can you see the difference?

Laura, hope you are OK. I have a a few close shaves myself and it is always unsettling for a while. Sounds like you had your wits about you though.

Thanks reeko.

He followed me a few times as I tried to cross the road away from him, before he ran up behind me to try and snatch my bag. Luckily I was able to run off in time and get away.

To be fair, I thought a little bit like EDoliver based on the first post, but LauraLou's second post was a lot more informative.

Smart work, LauraLou. Well done.

[EDOliver]

LauraLou sorry for my rather blunt and insensative post, I'll think before i type next time!

That sounds like an awful experience, hope you're not too shaken up.

Fair play to you Oliver, we all have off days
