That's terrible news, I hope she's ok, even though she doesn't sound it by that headline. I hope who ever did that the total scumbag gets caught and doesn't get let off with a pat on the head.

The Sun on Line

The mugger will get a nice safari to Africa out of this as he once had a traumatising nose bleed when he was young.

The prosecution will probably find some charges against Nush for daring to hold on to her hand bag, after all self defence is the most henous of all crimes. No doubt the mugger will get legal aid to sue her for ever penny she has and then some

This is what the Tony Martin case decided

[AndyJK]

I heard the story on RI:SE this morning. Very sad and I wish Nush a very speedy recovery.

Sticks sums up the current punishment dished out to muggers in our 'wonderful' PC liberal judicial system that treat these scumbags with leniency. I can offer a far better solution in dealing with them and to ensure they never reoffend. It involves dark secluded dungeons, chains and red hot pokers.

[kaphc]

That sounds terrible - poor Nush!

I hope she recovers OK, but it sounds like she will have a hard couple of months ahead. I really hope they catch the scum who did it, but even if they did what good would it do Nush?

Poor girl, what an awful ordeal.

I have seen the longer term effects that mugging has. The physical scars heal much quicker than the psychological ones.

With some 'crisis' issues (i.e. Jade's split uo and Kym Ryders) one suspects a raise in profile is the motive.

This is just awful though, she is a lovely girl, and I think maybe too trusting and open.

I hope she will be alright.

Get well soon Nush!

TextIt involves dark secluded dungeons, chains and red hot pokers.

And after that for muggers burglers and car thieves a much more permanent solution......All those crimes are commited by the scum of the earth. Those that give them lenient sentences are not much better......

Big Brother's Nush
Hurt by Mugger

BIG Brother contestant Nush Nowak has suffered a suspected broken kneecap and thigh bone after being attacked by a mugger.

Nush, 23, was pounced on at 4am on Thursday by a man in his twenties who snatched her bag, which contained cash and her mobile phone.

The yoga fanatic fought back but was pushed to the ground, a Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said.

Nush has undergone surgery at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, where a spokeswoman described her condition as comfortable.

The attack took place in Kentish Town, north London, close to where blonde Nush lives.

Nush's stepdad, David Shield, and mother, Elzbieta, were reportedly at her side in hospital.

Her injuries are so severe she could be laid up for six months and it could take a year and a half for her to be able to walk properly again, according to reports.



I feel deeply saddened that this attack has happened and wish her a speedy recovery.

[Di2001]

Get Well Soon, Nush.....

I was sad to read about this today. It must have been a complete shock.

There are some sad people in this world......

[Romantic Old Bird]

This just gets worse.

[BigSister]

I read this on telextext this morning
I hope Nush has a speedy recovery and they catch whoever did this but I dont think they will

[Kaz]

Poor Nush.

What a terrible thing to happen to her, especially as she wouldn't hurt a fly herself.

I hope whoever did this to her is caught very soon. However, sadly I have to agree with Sticks in that whatever punishment they do receive will almost certainly not fit the crime committed. It should.

All the best to Nush - hope she makes a speedy and full recovery.

[WILDCHILD]

Poor Nush. What a thing to do to someone - pure act of evil.
I hope she gets better.

[kaphc]

I was just watching the 6 o clock news to see if there was any update on this, but it doesn't look like it at the moment.

[steve_o]

The only way that Scumbag will be caught is if someone in the underworld happens to like Nush, finds out who he is and sorts him out with a good kicking. I've no sympathy for the sod. He's not the one who's going to have to struggle to walk for the next few months. I'm so angry this could have happened. Nush has travelled the world with no trouble, yet in her own lousy country it's not safe to have a night out in peace. Scot and Jon must be feeling terrible as well. It sounded like it happened so quick, and they couldn't do anything about it.

[Sticks]

I was mugged in 1994

This is why I like cyber space, on my PC I can hide from the world outside.

I like to be in during the evenings.

Just found this on Ananova:

Former Big Brother housemates have been arriving at hospital to visit Nush Nowak, who is recovering from two leg fractures after being attacked by a mugger.

The show's runner-up, Ray Shah, arrived at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, north London shortly after Gos - full name Herjender Gosal - this afternoon.

Ray, 23, was said to be "very concerned" about the incident and is currently staying with fellow runner-up Scott Turner.

Nush, 23, was pounced on at 4am on Thursday by a man in his 20s who tried to snatch her bag.

A spokeswoman at the Royal Free Hospital, where Nush has undergone emergency surgery, said it was not known how long she would remain there. Her condition was described as comfortable.

The yoga fanatic fought back after the attack in Kentish Town, north London, close to where she lives, but was pushed to the floor. She suffered a suspected broken knee and thigh bone in the incident.

Nush had an emergency operation to insert wires and a metal rod into her leg to pin her broken kneecap and femur.

Nush's stepfather, David Shield, and mother, Elzbieta, are reportedly at her side in hospital.

its awful i read about it today in the Express, nasty man. get well soon nush.

TROD.

[BusyBee]

The trouble is that unfortunately this type of thing is not a rare event these days.

Women are seen as easy targets and Nush was just probably in the wrong place at the wrong time. I doubt very much if it was personal. Its such a shame that its ended with her having such a horrible injury. Good luck to her and lets hope she recovers quicker than has been suggested.

[Sticks]

here is an update from ananova

It says she fought back

That means the police will want to arrest her for the criminal offence of self defence, outlawed since the Tony Martin case.

Is that mugger going to have a field day when he gets his legal aid to sue her for every penny and them some.

Isn't our legal system just wonderful

[steve_o]

Oh come on Sticks your starting to sound hysterical. The Tony Martin case and Nush are two complete seperate case's. Can we just stick to Nush's welfare please If it's not too much to ask can we just cross one bridge at a time. For a start off Nush didn't go and blast the mugger with a double barrell shot gun. She's too nice for that. I just want to know that's she's okay myself. Let's be a bit more positive. I bet you Nush is trying to be that way. Let's be that way for Nush.

[AndyJK]

I've lived and worked in the London area the majority of my life, and not even I feel safe to walk the streets at night unless I'm with a group of friends. I have been a victim of what I describe as 'aggressive begging' once near Kings X station several years ago when I was out alone.

It was near Kings Cross Station. I was minding my own business as I walked along a main street late at night, when some shifty eyed, scruffy drug dealer approached me. He offered to sell me drugs which I flattly stated to him I had no interest in, and kept walking. With one hand in his inner jacket pocket, he then proceeded to stalk me protesting my rejection to his offer and asked me for money. This then went on for a while. So not wanting to take any risks, I began talking to him in a civilised manner and gave him a quid. He then ran off and I made my way quickly to the Station. And that was the last I saw of him.

A lot of Londoners are concerned with the crime rate increase - particularly mugging and lack of powers the police seem to have to do anything about it.

My advice to anyone who intends visiting London leaving a pub or club late at night is get a cab instead of walking the streets. It's just not worth the risk.

stop with this tony martin crap, tony martin murdered his attacker! nush just tried to defend herself and probably didnt do him any damage, its two completely different situations you a-hole lol
btw did someone say scott and jon were there at the time ?

[AndyJK]

Sticks is merely highlighting the fact that muggers today get away with blue murder, and in some cases their victims are the ones chastised by the police and courts and even punished.

And the reference to the Tony Martin case is relevent to the surviving burglar who is now suing Martin for 'loss of earnings' after being injured during his escape.

I think you're are misinterpreting his posts.
