[quote]A man was fatally stabbed while trying to stop two muggers who had stolen a woman's bag, police have said.
Sukhwinder Singh pursued two men who robbed a 28-year-old woman near Barking station in east London on Friday evening.
When he caught up with the pair a fight broke out and the 31-year-old was stabbed.
Mr Singh chased the robbers along Victoria Road into Uphall Road before he was attacked just before 7pm.
He was taken to the Royal London hospital but later died. A post mortem is due to take place.
Detective Inspector John Sandlin said: "This is a tragic death of a man who was killed for attempting to stop others committing crime, and our thoughts are with Sukhwinder's family. However, I would also to reassure the wider community that tragic events such as these are very rare.
"I am appealing for anyone that knows who committed this crime, or who has any information about those who committed this crime, to do the right thing and come forward and contact police.
"My officers are also keen to hear from anybody who witnessed the initial robbery, the actual altercation that led to the stabbing and additionally anyone who may have seen any persons matching the suspect's description fleeing the Uphall Road area.
"It is also possible that the suspects may have abandoned the bag stolen and I appeal to anyone who may find a brown leather shoulder bag, to contact police. It may be that it has significant clues that could help solve this awful crime."
The two robbers were both black men in their 20s or 30s and 5ft 7in to 6ft.[/quote]
No good deed goes unpunished.
Crimefighters usually have sidekicks, now you can see why.
[QUOTE=Morphology53;19529467]Crimefighters usually have sidekicks, now you can see why.[/QUOTE]So the sidekicks get stabbed instead?
OP's avatar is the man at the moment of being stabbed.
In all seriousness, I feel bad for the guy and family.
Being vigilante is not always the key I guess.

I read the title and thought of that guy who threw his bike at the two robbers.

Lol.. Were they black too? It'd fit the situation since a bike was involved.

Not anyone can be a vigilante and live.
They killed him over a woman's bag?
Really?

Can't really call me racist since I was right.

Yea I can. Whether you were right or wrong you made an assumption on their race based on the story.

That's not racism.
Aren't there a billion security cameras all over that area? They should have enough footage of those guys to make a special extended edition director's cut of this crime, no pun intended(who am I trying to kid?).

Reminds me of the [I]"Calling all cars, calling all cars: Be on the lookout for a black male between 4'7" and 6'8"[/I]
