Why is it somehow my fault that i just got punched in the back of the head by a complete stranger in the dark, wearing dark clothes who was lurking in a bush?

When something bad happens to you and you somehow get blamed for causing the other persons wrong doing - sound familiar?

  • Hi JAX43,

    I’m really sorry to hear what happened. It sounds frightening and upsetting. Please know this was not your fault.

    What you’ve described is a physical assault. It would be good to take the following steps:

    • Report this to the non-emergency police (dial 101 in the UK).
    • If you have any injuries or feel unwell, please seek medical attention.
