Someone just tried to rob me?

This literally happened within the last hour
I'm okay and nothing is bad except I'm only feeling more anxious as time goes by

I was at the park as the sun went down which wasnt a great idea, especially in hindsight

But i was just relaxing and suddenly some guy walked up to me, (younger than me so i wasnt intimidated by it)

I live in italy, and i dont speak italian
So my first thought was that this is going to be an awkward interaction, (as how it usually goes)

But when they came up they just smiled at me and i said "What?"
And they grabbed my by the arm and started pulling me
I pulled my arm away and they just laughed and then quickly reached for my phone and i just held it as tight as i could and told them no and they let go and ran away

So ummm yeah that's it. I just ran home... nothing else happened and I'm fine but i feel a little anxious

And yes i literally "swiper no swiping"d his ass 😭
I'll probably tell my step dad but it's awkward

I'm glad that you're ok. It's sad fact of city life, unfortunately. I got mugged at knifepoint the first time I ever went into my city centre at 11yrs old. In my late teens I was threatened with being shot. Most of Europe is indeed safe but only to the larger extent. Nowhere is 100% safe so you still have to be cautious.
@SW-User i live in a small village which makes it crazier
And i used to live in a really shit and bad city in NC but I've never had this happen in my life, although id NEVER consider going out in the dark, especially alone, back there 😂😭 that thought alone genuinely horrifies me

But never in my life have i had someone grab me like that and try to steal something from me but I'll be okay.. they were weak anyway 😭😂

@PetalsOfLilac I guess the message is that there are pieces of shit everywhere. It can happen to anyone. Fortunately it's not that common. Just be careful 🤗
@SW-User yeah i definitely wont go out this late ever again 😂
You might ask why i was at the park when it was dark, the only reasons is I'm stupid, i wanted pokemon, and i had the misconception that italy was safer
@deadgerbil i think I'll pass on that 😂

@PetalsOfLilac there's literally no excuse. You ain't built for this life, step aside 😎
@deadgerbil i just wanted a shiny
I bet that was fucking scary.

Get you some pepper spray. You have two lives to protect now.
@Haniazed i had a tazer but you couldn't bring anything like that overseas so i dont have anything atm
@PetalsOfLilac I wonder if you could get some locally…

When it happens you act on instinct, I think. Only afterwards you process what happens. 🥺

That's horrific 😨 scary.....u fought back that i appreciate but always be alert and safe
You need to get you some pepper spray or a taser to carry with you
Damn. Glad you're ok. Also good on you for holding your ground.

Girl no, that's so scary 😭

Yup. That person is pretty brazen. Maybe they thought you were a tourist?

I've seen videos of people there pick pocketing tourists in broad daylight. No shame at all
@deadgerbil that might be it, and saying "What?" Gave it away too that i was foreign

Well sounds like you did good. You should have at least kicked him in the nuts just for fun. Sounds like he needs to learn a lesson. But glad you’re ok.
@Jakefromnj i was probably a second away from doing so before he gave up and ran
If he was older i wouldve either ran or done that before they had the chance to touch me
