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 馃槶
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 馃槀馃槶 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 馃槶馃槀

@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 馃
@SW-User yeah i definitely wont go out this late ever again 馃槀
