A 23-year-old man was stabbed and robbed as he walked home from an Asda superstore in North West London in the early hours of the morning.

He had been out shopping for the latest title in the Grand Theft Auto videogame series, and was robbed of his purchase by the attackers.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "We were called at 1.20am to Princes Avenue, Colindale. A 23-year-old man was shopping, then on his way back home he was hit with a brick and stabbed.

"He was robbed of items he had bought from a nearby Asda supermarket, including a copy of Grand Theft Auto.”

So even the Independent reports like a tabloid now? The article doesn't offer any proof that he was robbed for the game, just that he happened to have one.

People are mugged for all manner of items at 1:20 AM. That fact that he had a video game is just a coincidence.
