after leaving a supermarket in north London
A video gamer was stabbed and mugged after picking up
one of the first copies of Grand Theft Auto V when shops
opened at midnight last night.
The 23-year-old was attacked as he made his way home
from an Asda store in north London, just an hour and
twenty minutes after the notoriously violent video game
went on sale.
He was hit with a brick, stabbed and stripped of his
mobile phone, watch and his copy of GTA V near the
supermarket.

The victim is now recovering in hospital where he is said to
be in a stable condition.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "The victim had been
shopping and was on his way home when he was hit with a
brick.
"He was then stabbed and robbed."
Police, who were called to Princes Avenue in Colindale at
1.22am, said the motive for the attack was unclear.

Gross!
