A friend of mine got mugged on the canal by victoria park late one night last summer.
He was riding along and had just overtaken one pedestrian, then was stopped by 2 undesirables. Turns out the person he overtook had nothing to do with it, and on spotting the mugging going on infront of him....
Rather than come to my friend's aid, this guys logic was to take his phone out, raise it above his head to keep it dry, then jump in the canal, to keep himself safe from the muggers. Once my pal was finished with being mugged, the guy in the canal asked for help to get out, which was politely declined.
