Mugging is a very scary thing, and it's unfortunately on the rise. I'm really sorry it happened to her and hope the trauma and the bruises heal soon.I'm not sure what I would do if I was mugged. I would want to fight back, but by doing that they are more likely to hurt you. I'd probably scream at the top of my lungs to attract attention, which I've heard often unnerves the attackers, or perhaps I'd tell them I had a knife or something!
