Title: Got attacked trying to stop a robbery
Post by: Kate on 12 August 2013, 16:33:47
Hi everyone.

Went to the little shop in my street on Saturday night with the dog. Heard loud screaming to my left. It was a woman being robbed by a guy on a motorbike. I ran over pushed the robber off his bike and he jumped up and punched me hard in the face. He tried to get away again so I pushed him off again and got punched again. He gave the lady her iPhone back so I would stop. He got back on again and lashed out at me again. I wouldn't let him go. The bike fell over and then he ran off.

This is the result:

I've got a fractured nose and might need surgery.

Thanks.

I'm sure someone will be pleased when they get their motorbike back. It looked really expensive.

itss ok to have a go--but you could have got worse--10yrs ago my son was jumped by 2 muggers-I happened to see it-defended him-got stabbed-died twice-luckily it was a quiet day so ambulance got me to hospital quick-now got 2 scars like belly buttons for my trouble--and to top it off when at court-one of the assailants tried prosecuting me for breaking his jaw and fracturing- his skull -which made him blind in 1 eye-told the judge the truth-if i knew he had a knife would have taken it off him and killed him with it---I got no prosecution he had 4 other mugging offences-1 was a 80 year old man-still that lad dead now so world is better place-got shanked in nick :) :) :) :)
You were very brave to defend that woman-however-you are bruised-could have been worse-take up a martial art-not just to defend yourself-it will help with confidence/fitness too- :y

Very brave of you to have a go and I'm sorry to see you have been injured as a result. I hope you make a fast and full recovery.

Sadly, from the recent crime statistics parts of London have about 10 muggings a day. There is much cashpoint crime from Romanian gangs and this along with Bulgarians is going to get much worse from January 2014. Paris currently has major problems.  >:(

Unfortunately, for a small percentage of the population crime is their career of choice and many people from poorer Eastern European countries are attracted to the rich pickings in rich European capitals like London, Paris and Berlin. With the EU open borders this problem is not going to go away anytime soon.  >:(

well done and a shame about your outcome,i once caught a bag snatcher.saw him grab a bag off a lady at the shop entrance to a florist so I floored my old 1.6 diesel escort onto the wrong side of the road ans saw  the lad go up a snicket,i knew where it came out and floored my car again to the other end jumped out and caught the lad,the woman turned up on foot and got her bag back and refused any more help and I found out the day after it was her shop and the bag had a weeks takings and every order she had for weddings that year in it,the lad wriggled free after I left before she could call police(he was only a nipper),annoying thing was id been to the shop to see if she was ok and within a week my nan died so iwent there being local for some flowers and the bitch charged me full  >:( ;D

Good on you for helping out the lady being robbed :y.  Why do some people feel they are entitled to what other people have worked hard to earn  >:(

As for the face, although no expert, I'm sure it should heal in time, but see what the quack says.

Well, there's no doubt you're a Heroine Kate, but Eee lass, you've been in the soft South too long! :(
You've forgotten every Northern lasses main defence.... a swift kick in the knackers and a knee butt to the bridge of the nose as they fold up! ;)
It looks worse than it probably is pet, I don't think its done any lasting damage to your gorgeous looks :-*
I do hope the Authorities are going to give you some Official recognition for your bravery, you undoubtedly deserve it! :y

I would have kicked him in the balls but he was sitting on the motorbike and wearing a crash helmet and leather gear so he was well protected.

My legs are all bruised from when the bike fell.

Ouch ! That looks nasty 1  :o

But seriously, you need to think about doing these things. Not that far from where I live, you could well find yourself faced with a knife or even a gun under these circumstances, which could well mean rather more than a black eye.  :(

Being from up north I have already been punched in the face many times, had men walk men walk over my head while on the ground, had someone try to scratch my eyes out, been stabbed twice just missing my liver, been dragged along the ground which caused head injuries, been kicked in the face etc. etc.

Don't move to Sunderland!

One of the oofers advised me to apply for compensation from the CICA.

I contacted them but apparently you cannot claim for minor injuries.
