I've been mugged

How to deal with a street robbery.Physically
A mugger is someone who intends to rob you, often with the threat of assault. Choosing to comply without resistance won't make you less of a victim. What counts is that you protect yourself in the best way you can. Anyone, from family and friends to the police, will recognise that and respect you for it.
Don't be tempted to tool up with a weapon of any kind. Even if you feel it's for self-protection, the law doesn't see it that way.
Legally
If you've just been mugged, attacked or if you've just seen a crime being committed, then you should ring 999 as soon as possible.Even if you don't have much recollection of what happened, it could still mean the perpetrators are brought to justice before anyone else is forced to go through the same traumatic experience as you.
