I was jumped by a bunch of youths in my early twenties. I was getting home at ard 11:30pm but the last bus home was gone. I was in the city center but i thot nth of walking maybe half an hour or 45 minutes home. I thot the streets are lighted n i knew my city. But there was an area on the way just 2/3 minutes out of the city area, where three youths younger than me were tailing me, n i tried to run/hurry away but they caught up to me n we scuffled. I fought them n we stumbled onto the main road which at the time was almost deserted. Luckily a car stopped n the 3 who tried to rob me ran off. The driver of the car who stopped chkd on me n gave me a ride home. I thanked him but this was yrs before cell phones were common, so i hv no idea who he was. Im just grateful he stopped, cos there was a homeless man who slept under a tree nearby who saw wat was going on n he told us the place where i got jumped(there was a huge tree which blocked/there wasnt any street lights) was a common incidence for the kind of thing which happened to me, the almost getting robbed/being jumped part, not thecar stopping n giving me a ride home.
I nvr told my parents or family this n to this day i believe they dont know. I told my friends, one of whom also got robbed but far closer to his home. I believe he also walked home from the city or he took a bus in the evening but he walked n was jumped/robbed at a different part/road, i dont think anyone stopped to help him. He got home safe after tat tho.
Id ask him but he got in a accident (i think he was on his motorbike) n died just a few yrs ago, 2 or 3 yrs bk.
