A man was hit with a brick and stabbed before being robbed of the much awaited Grand Theft Auto V video game in north London.
The 23-year-old was returning home from shopping when he was attacked in Colindale at 01:20 BST, police said.
The video game by RockStar Games was officially launched at midnight.
The victim, who is in a stable condition in hospital, was also robbed of a watch and a mobile.


In other words, some poor chap was stabbed and robbed, but the journos wanted to add a bit of topical spice by mentioning GTA V. :roll:

I'm waiting for the fcukwit references to games and violence being claimed as a direct cause of this.

Rockstar must love it when the media does their PR for them.

It just shows that games can be good to get people outside. okay robbing someone was not ideal, but they are out of the house and not sitting in front of a TV screen, oh and he gets exercise running from the cops! /s

***** STOP PRESS *****

Further investigations by the police show that the man had also bought a tube of Smarties.
The Daily Fail has now proved that smartie buying leads to increased street crime and will start a campaign to ban them
A spokes man for Dubious Statistics Ltd says that 82.75% of Pedos say thats Smarties are they sweet of choice

In other news 86.4% of children like Smarties and should be monitored for any such tendencies.
