Three teenagers have been arrested after a man was stabbed and robbed of a copy of Grand Theft Auto V less than two hours after buying the game.

The 23-year-old was attacked as he made his way home from a midnight launch event in the early hours of yesterday morning with the notoriously violent video game.

Detectives are questioning three youths - aged 15, 17 and 18 - on suspicion of robbery at a north London police station.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “The motive for the attack is unclear at this stage.”

The victim was targeted after he left an Asda store just an hour and 20 minutes after the game went on sale.

He was hit with a brick, stabbed and stripped of his mobile phone, watch and his copy of Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) during the attack on Princes Avenue in Colindale, north London, at around 1.20am.

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."

The man is recovering in hospital where he is said to be in a stable condition.

These KIDS are ridiculous! WTF is wrong with them!?!?  Why must they ruin our nice things!??!

 imagine when the PS4 comes out  

guys beware  

omg dang

I hope they lock up this scum

That kid was probably walking home... i would be too scared to walk home after a midnight release like that w/ a taser or something with me...

I don't think I'm going to preorder the ps4... I'm going to wait..... maybe for when ff15 comes out.... and they'll have a special edition.... and I can order or or have my family order for me in HK and mail it over (cause we all know all the good stuff is only released in asia)

that is why you never go to a midnight release alone

LAWLS i always go alone tho

Wait don't you guys have an Amazon option where you can pre-order the PS4 and have them deliver to you day 1 w/o having to go to a launch
