I was mugged about 35 years ago .. I had finished a late shift on a Friday night and decided to walk home rather than catch a bus .. t took a usual short cut across some open ground and was jumped on by a a man and girl who tried to snatch my bag, foolishly I tried hang on to my bag and they ot me on the ground where one of them started kicking my head .. I was fully aware what was happening but could not move. They were disturbed and ran off when two railwaymen going home came along. They got caught a couple of night later when they tried to mug someone else elsewhere in the town, this time a man who got the better of them and punched the girl on the nose and got her boyfriend onto the ground and gave him a good kicking. Had they not connected them with the attack on me they police were going prosecute the man that they had tried to rob.
