“I’m in complete shock that someone could do this. I’ve lived in London all my life and nothing like this has ever happened.

‘I’d like to think I’m very street smart and always aware of my surroundings. Fortunately, I’m not hurt, the big sunglasses I wear actually protected my face somehow.

“It’s absolutely disgusting that someone could do this in broad daylight and what was even sadder, no one around me cared or batted an eyelid that someone would hit me in public.”

‘The police are dealing with this and taking it very seriously, but I thought it was important to share if you walk alone or travel alone a lot like I do, just to be careful.

‘There are very unpleasant people out there and this opened my eyes and shook me. What kind of world do we live in?
