Fougasse Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Hi all. My son and his friend were mugged today on a footpath near Barrow Road/Tyler Street. This is quite near to the Meadowhall rail bridge and Bus/rail interchange footpath. Two white youths about 16-18 approached them demanding money. My sons friend wasn't fast enough getting his wallet out and one of the youths punched him hard in the face. They also threatened them with a knife (which wasn't produced at the time). They took the money and then ran off. Both kids think they saw the youths at a local shop they'd just passed, who then followed them towards Meadowhall. Both youths were dressed entirely in black, with black hoodies pulled up and blacks scarfs around the lower part of their faces. Although both youths took part in the mugging, one appeared to be clearly shocked (according to our kids) at the others violence. We'd also like to thank the kind staff at Meadowhall who assisted two young, frightened kids. If anyone has any information about this, we'd appreciate a PM or they can contact the police directly on 01142964343. Cheers all.
W Wilkinson Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Hope they are ok it must have been a terrible experience, hopefully the little ****s will buy a bad batch of drugs and die.
Fougasse Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 Thanks - they're both recovering from shock and a fat lip. They're quite young so stuff like this is a bit much for them, but I'm sure they'll recover. Cheers.

Fougasse Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 Hope your son is ok. I know Wilkinson is harsh but I agree 100% hope they die painfully:rant: Again thanks. I'd just like them caught - I don't want anyone else having to go through this. If they really had a knife.....it just frightens the life out of you.
Fougasse Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 It happened about 1.30 this afternoon. The shop they saw the youths at was near Tyler Street, on that road I believe. Some kind of local shop. They think the two that attacked them may have been part of a larger group of youths, but they're not sure about that part.
Pegasus Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 If it was the post office, then they will have them on their CCTV.

This is not the first incident of this kind, and in this vicinity too. I know of another teenager this happened to whilst he walked to Meadowhall with friends, albeit sometime last year, close to Jenkin Road pub.
