What did Dr Ranj Singh say?
In the message, Ranj said: “I had the BEST night last night. Sadly, on my way home from Soho when I was walking to get a taxi, I was approached by a man who robbed me.
“It all happened so quickly and luckily I wasn’t hurt at all (the [bleep] stole my watch though), but it could’ve been so much worse.”
Ranj continued: “I foolishly chased after him, but he got away.
“I now know that’s not a good idea as sometimes these people will lead you into a trap.
“I wasn’t going to say anything because I felt stupid and a little bit embarrassed, but after speaking to some friends I thought it might just serve as a reminder:
“Please be careful when coming home at night, even in spaces you think are safe.”
In another tweet, Ranj said he was “OK” but a “little shaken”.
What else happened?
He added: “Mostly just angry about it all because he approached me as if he needed help.
“I feel like I got taken advantage of because I thought he was genuine. Another life lesson learned.
“Also, no one goes out expecting to be mugged. Victim-shaming isn’t OK.”
He concluded his message: “We wouldn’t tell a person who’s been sexually assaulted that they shouldn’t post certain pics online.
“I hope the person was desperate. But it won’t make me change how I live my life. I’ll just be more aware.”
Ranj’s followers flooded the post with support as James Jordan wrote: “100% mate! Hope you are as ok as can be.”
One fan wrote: “Im so so sorry. What an idiot. Glad you’re safe.”
