This morning at 5:30 I was riding south towards Hendrik Verwoerd in Galway street which becommes Jacaranda street, in Hennopspark. At the corner of Pine street  3 x Bravo men were walking along in the opposite direction. It was rather dark and no street lights were working.

As a was next to them 1 x grabbed me around the neck and got me off the bike onto the tar road and pinned me down. It was a struggle as I was trying to get hold of my Garmin to press the panic button.

The other 2 grabbed the bike and jumped onto the bike and starting riding south

I was threatened that if I try anything smart I will be killed and they were looking for my cellphone

That was hidden under 2 layers of cloths 

I started walking home when 2 x men in a LDV stopped next to me and asked if my bike was robbed which I confirmed.

The turned around with a speed and luckily the saw the flashing red light of my bike in a side street and speeded after them, In Tipperary street they caught up with the culprit and he realised he is now fighting a losing battle, jumped off the bike and over fence.

They retrieved my bike which I am greatfull for- 

The only damage is the deraileur, bottle cage and handle bar tips which got damaged either when they threw me off or when they abandonded the bike
