Camden, London – A manhunt is underway for the ‘Camden muggers’ who violently attacked two people near London Euston station. Metropolitan Police officers are chasing the thugs who punched a man and woman before fleeing the scene in a white Audi early yesterday morning.
The shocking daylight attack unfolded on Eversholt Street, just steps away from Camden High Street, Euston, and King’s Cross stations. The perpetrators violently assaulted the victims, leaving them sprawled on the ground.
In one account, a thug wearing a black hoodie violently pressed a man down on the pavement and aggressively kicked him in the face. The attacker then grabbed something from the victim before fleeing the scene.
The second attacker dragged the woman back onto the pavement by her hair as she tried to crawl away. Despite her attempts to get up and pursue the thugs, she was repeatedly pushed to the ground.
The assailants then fled in a white Audi 4×4, narrowly avoiding hitting the male victim as they drove off. The police are currently investigating the incident and have urged any witnesses or victims to come forward.
This alarming incident is just one of many in a series of recent crimes plaguing London, prompting concerns about the rise in street crime and theft in the city. Moped and e-bike gangs have been identified as prolific culprits in these incidents.
With theft from person offenses soaring by 27% last year compared to previous years, the Metropolitan Police figures show a significant increase in reported crimes. The ongoing manhunt for the ‘Camden muggers’ signals a continued effort by law enforcement to address and combat the rising crime rates in the city.
