1. Grab trap The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If any assailant grabs you, use a very forceful elbow jab to break free and run, preferably in a zigzag manner 2. Wallet trap If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, do not hand it to him. Toss it away from you. Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. Run like mad in the other direction
