Very very almost got mugged in Burgess Park on the way home this evening about 7:45pm. Sussed what was about to happen at the last minute and purposefully hit the bigger of the two lads on my Omnium. the other one stabbed my rear tyre with, from the looks of the hole in the side of my marathon plus, a 4cm wide blade. I managed to outsprint the lad with the knife with the rear puncture and the mudguard hanging off as there was a slight decline at that point in the park but it was really really close.
Fucking shaken and need a new tyre/tube/set of mudguards but unharmed. Pls be careful in the parks at night folks. That kid swung the knife inches from my right leg and fuck knows what would have happened if he had caught me up when I was accelerating away.
