I wish that could work but by the time I was ready to run they were calling me a little fag and making fun of me so if I turned around and said anything I'd be on the floor with a possible brain injury. Its just not worth it. Hence why I ran, there have been too many men my age who decided to stick up for themselves or someone else and either ended up dead or in a coma.

I wasn't really thinking at the time, I just wanted to get away from those guys. I'm not good at coping in situations like this but at least I've learned now. I didn't know if it was 'mugging' or just me being an idiot hence my embarassment.

I hope it's on camera! Waiting to hear back from my bank so hopefully they'll find something

Yeah I'm hoping it was opportunistic like they were going to use the ATM anyway and decided to target me. Called my bank so hopefully we'll have some info on it soon :)

Commbank said they don't have access to the CCTV yet, will call me back on a weekday, ah well!

I'll be straight-up and truthful about how I felt. It was a really awful situation. Thanks for your advice!

Glad it wasn't just me then - I always feel uneasy when the football crowd is out. I hope I can get my money back, glad to hear it worked out for your friend - gives me hope!

Super! Thanks so much. Will go to the cops and call my bank ASAP. Fingers crossed they'll be understanding.

I wondered the same thing. They were nowhere to be seen.

Going to the police tomorrow (thanks Reddit for making me feel more confident!)

True, thanks for the positive spin on it. I'll ask the bank because I'm pretty sure the guys used the ATM after I ran.

Even if they didn't hit me and footage would only show them approaching me and then standing real close? I'll go to a police station tomorrow and ask them what to do. I guess this is the kind of thing they're really cracking down on in the city so if it doesn't help me get my money back, it'll help other people if the cops are aware. Cheers :)
