“I now know that’s not a good idea as sometimes these people will lead you into a trap.

“I wasn’t going to say anything because I felt stupid and a little bit embarrassed, but after speaking to some friends I thought it might just serve as a reminder:

“Please be careful when coming home at night, even in spaces you think are safe.”

In another tweet, Ranj said he was “OK” but a “little shaken”.

What else happened?

He added: “Mostly just angry about it all because he approached me as if he needed help.

“I feel like I got taken advantage of because I thought he was genuine. Another life lesson learned.

“Also, no one goes out expecting to be mugged. Victim-shaming isn’t OK.”

He concluded his message: “We wouldn’t tell a person who’s been sexually assaulted that they shouldn’t post certain pics online.

“I hope the person was desperate. But it won’t make me change how I live my life. I’ll just be more aware.”
