Susanna Reid today revealed how she was mugged at knifepoint but chased the attacker up the street until he dumped her handbag and fled in fear.
The Good Morning Britain presenter, 47, said the knifeman 'slashed' the straps of her bag as she walked through Brixton 'some years ago'.
The attack was so violent his knife also sliced through her coat - but just short of her chest and neck.
She spoke out as police chiefs condemned the ‘walk on by’ culture in Britain where many witnesses film violent scuffles instead of trying to stop them.
Susanna Reid spoke today about chasing a mugger who slashed at her bag and coat and the trauma it caused

Susanna said the mugging left her traumatised for a period afterwards
The mugger became so scared he threw down her bag and ran, she said.
Her GMB co-host Piers Morgan looked shocked when she revealed the attack and said: 'You chased them down?
She replied: 'Yes, I was incandescent. He slashed my bag and coat with a knife and ran off. I was driven by fight of flight but I wouldn’t advise anyone else to do that.
'He was running across a bridge and he was shaking the contents out of the bag. I had cash in there and he took that but I got my phone and my keys and stuff back'.
She added: 'I went to an ID parade but I couldn’t pick out who it was. I wasn’t focused on that in the moment [because I was so angry]'.
Frontline officers could let thugs go if the public fails to back them, a police leader warned last night.
Ken Marsh, who represents almost 30,000 of the rank and file, condemned a 'walk on by' culture in which witnesses film violent scuffles instead of trying to stop them.
The Police Federation chairman spoke out after an appalling video emerged of a yob using a karate kick to send a policewoman into the path of a bus.
She narrowly escaped being run over in the incident in Wimbledon – the latest example of the violence gripping Wild West Britain.

Although one member of the public tried to help, several cars went past without stopping and the person filming the attack did not appear to step in.
A string of sickening attacks involving machete, axes and guns have been caught on camera.
Ken Marsh, the Police Federation chairman, was on GMB today and said there’s something wrong when people want to film police officers being attacked
Police chiefs fear the incidents highlight a disturbing lack of respect for the law or fear for the consequences of confronting authority.
Mr Marsh said: 'Are we now in a society where, if we think we can't detain somebody, we just let them go? It's just not worth it.
'We're going to come to a point where we're going to start pushing messages out to our colleagues: 'Risk-assess it dynamically and, if you think you can't detain a person, just let them go.'
'We don't come to work to get assaulted, and if we're not going to be backed up in what we're doing then what is the point?'
The latest incident took place after a traffic patrol stopped a suspicious vehicle on a busy road on Saturday evening in south-west London.
As the two officers attempted to speak the driver, a scuffle broke out as he and his two passengers tried to flee.
The confrontation spiralled out of control as two of the men – both in hoodies punched and kicked the officers.
The male officer was dragged across the street, clinging to the driver's legs. His female colleague tried to spray the men with CS gas but missed.
She was then hit by a running kick as she tried to help her colleague.

The clash was filmed by a motorist, whose failure to intervene and flippant running commentary sparked uproar.
The incident was videoed by a motorist, whose flippant comments and failure to intervene caused fury.
As the mobile phone footage unfolds, the man filming it says: 'They are all fighting... look, they've got him. She's spraying them up. He's hanging on to him! Look!
'Oh dear me, he just kung fu-kicked her in the head! Look! I am getting this all live, boys and girls, I thought I'd just stop and have a little watch.'
After it was posted on Twitter, there was anger that the man didn't help the officers.
One critic tweeted: 'If it was the other way round, there'd be riots. Have some respect.'
Another said: 'Shame on you for... not trying to help.'
The mobile phone footage showed the officer being bowled over into the path of a passing bus, whose driver was forced to perform an emergency stop.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
