Please be careful not to walk in Braam while on a phone. I stupidly did so and was mugged by a guy in red sweater who jumped into black car.

Police were not immediately available for comment.

While some Twitter users commiserated with Habib‚ others not.

One user said thousands of students had experienced muggings and asked what Habib had done to address that.
