I was walking home last night and saw a group of people that approached me. They literally stole my shoes and were about to steal my wallet and throw me off this bridge. I got out of their control and managed to jump off it and land on a train.

How fucked up are the times we live in that random people seriously attempt to kill someone for shoes and a damn wallet?

Has anyone else had an experience being mugged, or attempted mugging? I'm fairly proficient in Krav Maga. But taking on five people at once is quite difficult. I managed to submit the big guy, but some other dude repeatedly punched me in the head until I retreated.

I jumped off a 30 foot bridge, on to a train, so about a 20 foot drop. Jumped off, and walked home 4 miles in my socks. Sorry for the profanity, but I seriously think this is messed up.
It's nothing to do with the times we live in, and if it's a group of people it's probably nothing to do with them actually wanting your shit. They were just dickheads looking for violent kicks.

Kudos for getting the better of them, though.

I can't help but be sceptical too. You say you take know Krav Maga? Isn't that the one fighting style pretty much made to brutally end a fight as quickly as possible, and it specialises in multiple opponents? And you happen to know some free running too, since you can survive a pretty large fall with no shoes on.

My question is this - Why didn't you just beat them down, then do some free running flips to victory?
I assumed this was coming up. Fighting with no weapons against a group of five people is difficult no matter what you are trained in. Especially considering one person is 6'5 270 pounds, and another is slightly under this. Take into consideration I'm a 180 lb 5'11-6'0 male.

I managed to take down the big guy before getting straight up rushed. I in no way claim i'm some Krav Maga master. I've simply studied it for a while under an instructor. Like I said before, if I had only been facing two or MAYBE three, I would have been off fine. But five people who essentially circled me is nothing to scoff at. Ask anyone sufficient in most martial arts how plausible this situation is for the minority.
Fair enough, you sold me on the fight, but the train thing is just too hard fetched, although freakin' awesome.

/high five on taking out the big guy though =D

Ive been jumped 3 times. None quite that spectacular, but I do believe you dude, well handled. First time, was in Highschool. A guy in my class wasnt particularly fond of me, and hired 3 of his cousins to come into the school grounds and pound my brains in...they did. Not cool.

Time no.2 . On my way home from Highschool, 10 kids from rival highschool run up and start wailing on me and stamp me to bits. Im hospitalised for a few days, have a broken arm, nose, jaw and ankle. Also not cool, never understood the whole juvenile rival school bollocks.

And 3. On my way to town to meet my friends, go the pub and have a good night. 3 about 40 year old men ( completely drunk ) come out of a pub I passed, accuse me of disrespecting them and stamp me to infinity against a road barrier after one of them whacks me o nthe head with a bottle...Bottles dont break like in the movies too. Thats how I learnt that little fact :)

Now if you count attempted muggings. I believe that number is now around 15. With only 4 being successful.

I really hate Manchester.
Shit I feel worse for you than me right now. Even though it hurts to bloody move at this point. Not to mention the bruises. Bud Kudos on you for on winning/getting away from 11 out of 15, that's respectable.

My sister's bf was in Malaysia and some guys tried to mug him. The key word being try. Apparently he was wearing Levi's Jeans and the pockets were so tight, those guys were unable to steal his wallet and ran away., probably to avoid him recognizing them and going to the police. So here's a word of advice, when mugged, make sure you have a pen knife so that it counts as self defense. Or wear Levi's. That works too.

I thought I saw someone ask this earlier, and I maybe have missed the response but....why are you on the escapist instead of a hospital to check for injuries? Or sleeping? I got in a fight with 2 girls before, and I just completely crashed from exhaustion after the adrenaline kick died at the emergency room.
Secondly, have you reported this to the police?

hope you get better soon bud, that jump sounded more intense than the beating did but you held your own so good for you.


ive been jumped a few times, and in scotland (as well as the rest of britain) weve got really bad rising knife crimes. ive had bottles smashed over my head, pinned against walls at knife point , ganged up on and had junkies pull needles on me.sometimes at work..its not funny at all. every time ive been alone and every time ive managed to fight back and not lose a thing (not a brag, just a fact) but thts not an option for everyone you should just try and get your ass out of dodge, double quick.

Me and my best mate got sorrounded by 14 chavs (I live in England.) Always have my brother on speed dial when I go out at night around these parts, quick call to him, he knew where I was so it was soon 3 on 14. My brother literally laid one hit on the 'leader' and he fell like a sack of shit. I laid out one dude, broke another guys nose before getting elbowed in the temple. My best mate was fending off 3 of them, knocking a few teeth out and by this time I had fallen unconscious from 5 dudes kicking me in the head on the ground.

I was apparently unconscious for 10-15 minutes and about 30 people were trying to bring me around. When I came to, In my head I was fine, but apparently, I couldn't control any of my actions and I couldn't remember my name or where I was or anything, people were seriously worried. I Gave a statement to the police after I healed up and guess what? The police believed the 14 chavs over us. They said i'd started it and had hit one of them for no reason. Blatent bullshit, the police believed it, never even got to court. THAT is how fucked up the justice system is.

OT: Atleast your safe dude, hope everything gets sorted.

Right, so let's start this diagnosis.

You're older than 16. So we won't dismiss this out of hand.

You say you train in Krav Maga, a martial art which specializes in PREEMPTIVE defense. Meaning that you would have been thinking about potential risks as soon as you saw the group. Through whatever fucking sorcery, they managed to take your shoes from you and were then planning to take your wallet and... Commit first degree murder by throwing you off a bridge? Are you fucking serious? Not to mention, how did you know that they were planning on throwing you off the bridge? Did they cackle maniacally and twirl their fucking moustaches while monologuing?

Then you mention that you subdued the biggest of the group (cataloguing size subconsciously, risk factor is not deliniated by size, any martial artist worth his salt will tell you that.) but were forced to 'retreat' due to the volume of blunt force trauma being rained down upon your head and face... And again, you're supposedly trained in Krav Maga, which specializes in particularly brutal methods of neutralizing opponents and you've got this guy in a submission hold? You sure you're not spelling 'backyard wrestling' wrong?

Then in your next post, you say you're a freerunner, a discipline which requires an immense amount of physical agility and stamina, and you couldn't outrun them without channelling Bruce fucking Willis and jumping 30 feet (An act which I am assured by very credible sources will almost surely result in broken bones unless done into water) onto...

...A moving train... OK, that's it, heard enough. Lemme guess, then you had to walk home 4 miles without shoes and...

...Oh fuck you're actually saying that too!

People, if you honestly believe this, I'd like to inform you that I am in fact Jesus Christ, and I'd like to tell you about a Nigerian Princess who only needs a small transfer fee to send you a portion of her vast wealth. Also you've won the UK lottery. Also I have the title to a bridge I'd like to sell you at a very good price. Also the word 'Gullible' has been removed from the dictionary.

Get the picture?

attempted mugging twice for me. first when i was 14 and walking through town from a friend's house some guy approached me and tried to get money off me when (i shit you not) a group of black guys who were out clubbing came from behind and asked "is there a problem here?"

after i said yes, the mugger wasn't standing for long.

second time i was walking through a shortcut on my way home from college when a guy came out and pointed a gun at me and asked me for my wallet. now i was bullied quite a lot back in high school until i snapped and took the biggest bully in the school down, this left me a bit stubborn.

so when he asked for my wallet he got a polite "Fuck you" response which he then grabbed me by my shirt whilest i grabbed him by his gun hand and through my head into his nose. left him unconscious with a blooded nose after i found out the gun was fake, some airsoft replica.

with my personality i'm sure i'll be killed by a mugger because i won't give them them anything other then broken bones.

EDIT: though to be honest now unless in a group, i doubt anyone would try to mug me when i'm 6.5 and always look like i'm going to kill someone.

...yes, this is messed up! You took a bunch of blows to the head, jumped off a 30 foot bridge, fell about 20 feet landed on a train and just walked home. I don't care what speed the train was moving, you fell 20 feet! Are you an X-men? All and all:


OT: Well, I've never been mugged or gotten into a real world fight. Though when the day comes...I will probably get my ass kicked after putting up a decent fight. Well, if I'm by myself. If my family or friends are around, in danger as well...I will push some unlucky bastards shit in and tear them a new asshole!
Thanks for the disrespect. I suppose I slowly walked/limped home. My bad. I didn't get hit too many times in the head, I blocked most of it. I still took a few good ones. If you've never been in a real fight, why are you criticising me? I just feel like you're being an asshole by basically calling me a liar, when I came here for support. That's fucked up dude.

If you're ignorant enough not to believe me, just don't entertain my thread, because you're seriously unintentionally offended. But think about it, a twenty foot drop isn't as much as you think. Especially if you're experienced in high jumps.

FalloutJack said:
You mean to say you were in any condition to walk after hitting a train after a thirty foot drop?
Thirty from the ground, about 19ish from the train. That eleven feet of acceleration would have made it a lot worse.
An Atheist making an extraordinary claim with no evidence and is offended when no one believes it? I gotta love the irony in that. People believe evidence, not word of mouth. Saying I did some Batman level stunt is like saying God spoke to me. disbelief is to be expected with no evidence.

Real fights are not like Batman fights. Biologically, the brain can't handle something that quick. By the time you realized an escape route other than run you would already by unconscious from the hits. Blocking hits is impossible with real muggers due to weaponry. You can't block a baseball bat, a knife, or bullet at point blank. No mugger would go in bare handed and even if there were multiple muggers they would have over powered any block attempt through sheer force. Stealing shoes? No one would go for shoes when money is on the person. A real mugger group would have knocked anyone out by the time the brain chose to jump on the train.
As I said before, I'm not trying to persuade anyone to believe me. This is not an argument. To me, it is a matter of fact. I'm simply trying to display my experience and perhaps see reactions from people who have had similar ones. Being a dick to me honestly has no affect. I've already said before, I could not give a shit less if your ass does not believe me. You're seriously just promoting hostility at this point. Biologically you have no idea what you're talking about. My martial artist master can apparently be Batman.

You're wrong. People can realize things from everything from logic to instinct, to a scared reaction. Also, transcribing an event is apparently extraordinary? Yes, I'm a hypocrite for telling the truth. Sorry guys. My bad. Get real, dude.

I guess we can no longer believe any news source that doesn't have a video feed. Although... Even then it could be photoshopped!!! Shit! What ever will we do for news now. We can't even believe our eyes. Honestly, as said before, I'm not trying to hate. You are simply wrong. Every news article is written by a single person. Every book is too. Most online videos are also from a single person. You disbelieve me, and you set the merit for them all. I agree some are wrong, but the way you put your argument, we all are.

Also, not trying to discredit you, but have you honestly been in a fight? I hate to say how wrong the information you just spouted is, but it's true. You appear to have no idea what you're talking about.

I was almost mugged once when I was going home from school with my brother. There was two guys so we were evenly matched in that sense, but we both despise the use of violence; a slight disadvantage.

They wanted us to hand over our mobile phones. We didn't have any at the time. We didn't tell them that obviously (since that would look weak), and just insisted that they were going to get nothing from us. Eventually, I figure, they must have started to feel awkward about not actually getting anything from us despite being all tough-like. They kind of just gave up.

And good times were had by all. <_<

So; how's that for a diplomatic solution?

A few weeks ago actually. I was in my London flat, putting the bin out, when I spotted a gang on the corner with hoods up and their faces covers. I, stupidly, decided not to go back into my flat right away to finish my fag. They all past by me and walked on, except one who came right up to me and said "What money do you have?" Having just gone out to throw out the rubbish, obviously I didn't have my wallet on me so I told him as much. He then warned me that he had a knife (didn't show it though, I think he might've been lying), so I had to turn out my trouser pockets to prove to him I didn't have my wallet. He then walked off to join his mates, and I promptly finished my fag and headed in.

Having got in, I realised that in my inside jacket pocket I'd had my ipod all along. But, to be fair, he only asked for money; I think it's important to maintain a level of pedantry in a mugging situation...

No problem Batman!
But seriously... Don't be down about it! A superhero like you doesn't even need shoes!
I honestly don't know whether or not you're being humorous or a dick. Seems to be more on the dick side..
Nah of course not. Just sayin' it seems like you did pretty well to get out of that situation like you did is all.

That's just fucked up. I'm glad I live where I do, I have never been mugged, and none of my friends or anyone I know for that matter has either. Also, jumping off a bridge and landing on a train? Best getaway ever.

20 feet... About 6 meters, right? So, you'd be hitting that train at about... 30 km/h. Ought to break a leg, hitting hard surface you can't even roll on to lessen the impact force.
Twenty feet is definitely doable. I have done it in the past as a teenager. Perhaps I should throw out This Link . Some random drunk dude falling 50 feet, compared to a sober guy jumping 20. Which seems safer?
Sorry, but I simply don't believe that you are judging this right, as do a lot of other people. Cool story as it may be, I can't really believe you fell 5 metres, let alone 6.
Alright, I don't really care. Not trying to be a dick, but this was in a familiar location. I know the bridge height, and I'm not trying to brag. While 20 feet is a decent drop, it's not life threatening. Either you're misinformed, or you're calling me a liar. Either way, you're disrespectful. I wouldn't be an ass to you if you got mugged, why the hell are you doing it to me? Are you seriously such a bad person you'd pick on a crime victim?


1: You obviously care, that's why you responded and feel offended at what I said
2: Saying 'I'm not trying to be a dick' and then saying what you said is like me saying, 'I'm trying not to be violent', and then punching a guy in the face.
3: I just think either you're lying, or your judgement is off, I previously thought the latter, but you sound too defensive, which is a characteristic typical of somebody not being honest
4: And it's not disrespectful to give incorrect information to the escapist community and expect us to believe it? (hypocritical much?)
5: Don't act like you know me, I could have been mugged, you just don't know
6: I lol'd at the sympathy card, "Are you seriously such a bad person you'd pick on a crime victim?", seriously?
Your misguided offense at my only confirms that you yourself are regretting saying that it was a 20 foot drop, but you don't want to change it now because too many people have seen this thread, yep, you're in a sticky situation alright.
1. I don't care what you think. True fact. I care more about my image. It has nothing to do with someone being an asshole to me. Sorry.

2. I was trying to confront you in a friendly manner. Just because you feel offended at the fact that we have conflicting opinions doesn't make me a dick, sorry if you think so.

3. Have you ever been mugged? Raped? Assaulted? If someone doubted your integrity on such a serious matter, you're going to be offended. People saying you're something you're not is something to get defense about, sorry if you don't understand. I'd like to insult you here, but that only damages me. Unless you jest about serious crimes, I think you should back off on this one. Although, if you have no experience with something as serious as this, you have no validity in the first place.

4. Worst statement ever. You straight up are assuming I'm lying, which is beyond offensive and disrespectful. You're seriously insulting someone who was just a victim of a serious crime. Nice one, bud.

5. No way. No fucking way. If you were ever mugged, you would be beyond sympathetic. You seriously have no idea what you're saying, and I seriously suggest you reconsider this post. Attacking someone that was just a crime of a felony is a very poor social choice. I'm not pissed at you because I'm defensive, I'm pissed because you're beyond offending to me.

6. I don't fucking care what you classify me. I am a crime victim, and you're the jerk that's picking on me. I showed you respect, and you attacked me. It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, f' off man. You're not only offending me, but everyone else who has had this happen to them. I don't care how ego strong you are, find something better to do than attack people. You probably don't realize this, but you're seriously upsetting people. I'm not trying to start up some kind of bizarre flame war, I just don't want negativity on the thread I made.
1: You care, otherwise you wouldn't respond, this further enforces the proposition that you are not being honest
2: If that's really what you think, then I don't have anything to say to that.
3: You don't know me, as much as you like to think I'm immune to being the victim of crime,
that isn't the case, and I'm sorry I doubted your integrity on you jumping 20 feet and not injuring yourself seriously, (just keep telling yourself that OP)
4: You continue to be hypocritical and to be dishonest to all of the people here, and fun fact: If a horrible person becomes a victim of a crime, that doesn't necessarily stop them from being horrible people who should be called out when they make mistakes, bud :)
(also I never said I assumed you were lying, but it now seems obvious.
5: Here's another fun fact: If somebody gets mugged, then they hear a story about a guy who jumped off a bridge, fell 20 feet and landed on a train, they don't suddenly ignore the physical unlikelihood, I'll show sympathy when you learn to be honest with us, and perhaps with yourself
6: "I don't fucking care what you classify me." We both know that's not true.
" I am a crime victim, and you're the jerk that's picking on me." Just saying it how it is bud. "I showed you respect, and you attacked me." If that's what makes you feel better about yourself, then I wouldn't have it any other way. "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me," It sure does to you "f' off man." Nice, good for you. "You're not only offending me, but everyone else who has had this happen to them." Oh God, the army of people who jumped 20 feet and landed on a train are coming to get me! Hey, there's only one guy! "I don't care how ego strong you are, find something better to do than attack people." Your dishonesty is an attack in itself, and I counterattack. "You probably don't realize this, but you're seriously upsetting people." Right back atcha bud, "I'm not trying to start up some kind of bizarre flame war, I just don't want negativity on the thread I made." Yeah, that's why you keep responding, bud ;)
Dude, enough. Stop. Doubting the integrity of this person's story is one thing, but you're coming off as a straight prick right now. Just leave it be.
