GTA 5: Grand Theft Auto V fan stabbed and robbed of game after queuing for one of first copies
The 23-year-old was hit with a brick, stabbed and stripped of his mobile phone, watch and his copy of GTA V after leaving a supermarket in north London.
A video gamer was stabbed and mugged after picking up one of the first copies of Grand Theft Auto V when shops opened at midnight last night.
The 23-year-old was attacked as he made his way home from an Asda store in north London, just an hour and twenty minutes after the notoriously violent video game went on sale.
He was hit with a brick, stabbed and stripped of his mobile phone, watch and his copy of GTA V near the supermarket.
The victim is now recovering in hospital where he is said to be in a stable condition.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "The victim had been shopping and was on his way home when he was hit with a brick.
"He was then stabbed and robbed."
Police, who were called to Princes Avenue in Colindale at 1.22am, said the motive for the attack was unclear.
