Although I wasn't a fan of Nush here's what I say:

To the attacker: I hope you choke, die, and burn in hell
To Nush:: Get well soon, I wish you a speedy revovery

Poor Nush, even if she makes a quick recovery, from what I've heard she will have scars on her leg from the surgery.

I doubt some of the detail in the tabloid report about her putting up a fight. If she'd had a chance to do that, then so would Scott and Jon. I wonder if her broken leg happened if she was wearing her handbag with the strap slung across the shoulder and body. If the mugger had grabbed her bag and made a mad run for it, she would have been pulled along with him. I remember a similar mugging happened to a tourist in the westend a couple of years ago when she was sitting on a bus; because she had her back strapped across her she was dragged along with the mugger and hit her head when falling to the ground. The poor woman actually died.

This is very sad for poor Nush. What a horrible thing to happen.

However, like some of you I'm a bit sceptical about the veracity of the newspaper reports. Firstly journalists are notoriously ignorant about medical details so it's not surprising they don't know a femur from a fibula.
Secondly, all that stuff on the thisislondon website about Nush and Scott being an item and living together, is that actually true? And if it isn't, can we believe anything else in the story? (Other than the fact that Nush is in hospital and that she was mugged, which has been confirmed by the police.)

Poor Nush from the above article its clear that although Scott and Jon were with her it happened too quickly for them to be able to prevent it.

They must be feeling terrible too, especially Scott as their relationship is still very new. Jon cares a lot about her he made no bones about that.

Heres hoping that she get better soon and they catch the animal that did this. We live a very sick society where you can't walk home with friends without being attacked.

Nush our thoughts are with you.

I agree about the tabloids, notoriously ignorant indeed!

I don't know whether Nush and Scott are an item, I am confused about that. I believed them when they were interviewed in OK magazine, very convincing, but who knows.

Anyway in the grand scheme of things it seems irrelevant at the moment. Nush should just concentrate on geting well again, she is going to need her family and friends a lot and whatever her relationship with Scott he is among those.

Well actually I don't think the story about them living together is true as it suggests on the ananova news site (which is usually a reliable source) that Scott is staying with Ray at the moment.
which does kinda beg the question what else in this story is true.

While there is no doubt that Nush was mugged and has ended up with these horrible injuries isn't clear if she was on her own, with Scott, with Scott and Jon, or with someone else.
I would not find it implausible for her to be with a few people because as I say I know from experience that these things take a matter of seconds and are over before you know it. She could have been with Mike Tyson and I doubt very much it would have made any difference to the outcome.

That's the tabloids for you, we all know they make up stuff to try and make it seem 'more real' than it actually is.

It is awful for this sort of thing to happen to anyone, sadly we only hear of it when it is someone well known who is the victim. There are many others that have had this happen to them and no-one other than their nearest and dearest know about it, it's certainly not headline news as it is too common.

That said, I have every sympathy for Nush, she seems to be a lovely girl and was unfortunate being at that place at that time. I can understand why she fought back, I also did once when my house was attempted to be burgled whilst I was at home. It's a natural reaction. I can also see why the people with her didn't have a chance to respond - by the time they realised there was a problem and what it was the attacker was probably on his way. I do wonder however if this was a semi-planned attack? As already said I find it unlikely that someone would on the off-chance attack a woman accompanied by at least one male, but who knows, a drug-addict who was desperate for a hit could do anything

I feel for her that not only is she severly injured (which is the main concern) but that it may also have ruined her potential career as by the time she is better she will be long forgotton

As a funny aside, could this be Lisa getting her revenge, and failing to make her "two-finger" approach to work so resorting to the "two-broken-bones" approach hehe (just joking folks, don't get stroppy with me eh )

I'd like to add my good wishes to Nush for a full recovery

Chin up, girl

This happened in my area of London. If any details appear in the local paper, I'll let you know.

Although I never liked Nush much, I too am sorry to hear of this frightening and distressing experience she has had. Apart from her physical injuries, she must be very shaken. I also feel for Scott and Jon - if indeed they were with her, they must be feeling terrible now - but, as others have said, it is probable that it all happened so fast that no one could have done anything, other than call for an ambulance.

My heart goes out to Nush - what a terrible thing to happen to her of all people. Hope the love and support of Scott, her mum and her stepdad help her through the weeks ahead, that she makes a full recovery ASAP, and that the shitbag responsible is
caught and sent to jail, where he finds himself married to Mr Big.

You're in my heart, Nush - sending you all my love and best wishes. Get well soon x

Yes, this happened in an area of London I know well, inc. that road (it was on one of my routes home), it was only a few years since I lived there and I used to walk home on my own at night following a few drinks after work, I doubt I would now.

My concern is the possibility of a broken femur that needed to be pinned - now we know of the hyped-up tabloid reports so this may not be true. If it is however, Nush will not be up and walking shortly....or doing any yoga videos.

Example - a friend of mine had a bad road accident and needed a pin. She was off work for 6 months, laid up largely immobile, returned for a few weeks in great pain at which point it was established one of the screws had shifted - another op. to break the femur again and re-pin, six months more laid up......
Now a few years on she is mobile, working / normal, swims but no other sports possible, nasty scar down her thigh a foot long, no short skirts or even jeans as these rub on the scar and cause her pain.

I don't want this to be sensationalist as we know how the tabloids are, I hope this is not the case for Nush and that it may just be a broken fibula - remember Jade and the eye?
Just can't help thinking of my friend; Nush had all the possibilities of a yoga video etc and perhaps more chance of any of them of a media career of sorts in the short-term at least.

I look forward to hearing any news that this was not as bad as initially feared and wish Nush a speedy recovery.

.

Theres any number of reasons why Nush may have been far enough away from the lads for someone to take a chance, They pause to light a cigarette, she dawdles by a shop window, whatever... a few feet of distance would be enough for a sober man to outrun a couple of drunken, slightly shocked ones

Nush's step-dad said she was 'accident-prone' when she was injured in the House, but this goes beyond the boundaries of that description.
Nush, you won't be reading this, but ..........
Those of us who have experienced mindless and arbitrary violence or abuse, of whatever kind, are thinking of you, and wishing you a speedy recovery.
Get well sooner.
I am sure that you will.

My heart goes out to Nush.

The bones will mend in time...I just hope the mental scars heal quickly too.

I was violently mugged earlier this year, January, in Spain. It wasn't all that late, I wasn't alone and I wasn't drunk. I got suspicious of this guy who overtook us and removed my handbag from the outside shoulder - onto the one that was next to my friend, double wrapping it around my wrist. The guy bent down to tie his shoe-lace (supposedly) and the next thing. I was being dragged along the floor until I eventually let go of the bag. It was over with in a split second. There was nothing my friend could have done to help. I ended up, with a partial plaster on my left leg from toe to knee.....and a partial plaster on my right arm from fingers to elbow. I was told that whilst my bones where not broken that I had to keep my foot off the floor for at least 2 weeks ...or it would break.

Like I said.....the bones mend. However, I still find it very unnerving walking through streets alone...in the day time that is - I haven't ventured out alone in the dark yet.

I hope my story will help anyone understand how it can happen and the effects that are left with you. I would also like to say......if a mugger comes anywhere near you.....give them what they want!!! I know it is a natural instinct to protect your property....but honestly...it is not worth it!!!!

I used to live up there aswell. It always makes me worried for my mum who lives less than 2 mins walk from where Nush got attacked.

The papers have been saying that she may have been attacked for her celebrity but knowing the Borough of Camden as well as I do it will most likely be a random attack by someone looking for some money for drugs.

I got my handbag stolen last week in the south of the borough and I still think to my self you stupid cow you should have known better.

dont they get body guards or is that only for the fish mass murderer

Is there any evidence they *did* make an attempt to pursue the robber?

Am I the only one who finds it slightly disquieting that Nush was accompanied by two male friends in their twenties,and that seemingly they stood and watched as this happened? If it's true that she fought back,it must have taken at least 5 seconds for him to wrench her handbag free and yet at no stage do we read of Scott and Jon grappling with the thief,or even pursuing him as he fled.

All we've heard is 'it all happened in a flash and there was absolutely nothing they could do'.Call me a cynic,but I wonder if that's the full story.

I dunno eurostar,
maybe one of them did persue him.
Maybe they were not even there and Nush was on her own. Maybe the mugger had a knife or another sort of weapon. Maybe they were more concerned for Nush laying screaming on the pavement.
There could be a number of explinations really. I mean no-one has actually said exactly what happened, various reports contridict each other so goodness only knows what is true. They are only going by what people claim they 'saw' or more to the point thought they saw.

what I will say though is that if S & J were there I am doubtful wether they would have been able to do anything, and as the scumbag supposedly escaped in a car there would have been very little point in persuing him.

At the end of the day though what we have is an innocent person lying in hospital with horrible injuries and maybe 2 possibly traumatised, guilt ridden witnesess who will have to live with what they saw for the rest of thier lives.
My main concern is for their well being and my thoughts are with the three of them.

Well it's interesting to note that Nush clearly had her wits about her and knew instantly the guy was trying to rob her,so the argument that they were all tipsy doesn't wash.

All I can say is that if had been me,I would feel extremely bad afterwards if such a thing happened to a female companion of mine.My first instinct would be to rush to her aid.Perhaps the Sunday newspapers tomorrow will shed more light on this incident.

Well I guess if someone grabs your bag it's pretty obvious they are trying to rob you.

I suppose another poss is that she was walking behind the lads (if indeed they were there) something caught her eye, she stopped to look, they thought she was still behind them and that was it. Maybe the first they knew was when they saw her lying on the pavement and they didn't see the actual mugging at all.

As I said,let's wait and see if the Sunday papers can shed any light on this.I'd be very interested to hear the NOTW,People and Mrror's take on it.....it could be that I'm doing Scott and Jon a major disservice or it could be that I'm on the money.

As a final by the way before I turn off my computer for the night...
I wasn't going to mention this but I was once witness to what sounds like a very similar mugging to this. Thankfully the victim did not come off a bad as poor Nush but nonetheless it was very scary for everyone.
The point I am trying to make is that we were with a few people, some lads in their 20's, they'd had a few but knew what they were doing.
Honestly mate it literally happened in a flash and the assailant was long since gone by the time the lads realised what had happened. I think that is probably what took place here. But *shrug* as you say lets wait and see of tomorrow's papers turn up anything new.

Poor her. It always happens to the nice guys. I feel inclined to send her a card!

Of course it could also be asked why anyone was walking home at that time of night. Surely it would be wiser to get a cab?
