Presenter Kirsty Gallacher 'still in shock' after being attacked in street
- On Tuesday, Kirsty Gallacher, Gold Radio host, said she was assaulted in central London around 19:00 while walking to her car by an attacker described as wearing black who kicked her and fled.
- Gallacher said she decided to speak out about rising street violence, calling it commonplace in London and criticising a nearby security guard for failing to intervene as hugely disappointing.
- Gallacher, speaking tearfully on Instagram, told her nearly 400,000 Instagram followers, "I couldn't have done more to protect myself and still that happened to me," showing visible bruises.
- The Metropolitan Police said they are dealing with the situation after Gallacher reported the incident, while fellow celebrities and colleagues including Ben Shephard, broadcaster, and Kate Garraway, TV presenter, sent messages of support.
- Metropolitan Police data and ONS figures indicate rising robbery hotspots, showing the West End sees around 10 robberies daily; other victims include TV personality Selina Scott, attacked near Piccadilly in June.
