Bridgerton actress Genevieve Chenneour has spoken of how she has been left "severely agoraphobic" and unable to leave home following a phone theft that turned violent in west London.
The 27-year-old was attacked in a café in February after she confronted a man who had taken her phone.
Speaking to the BBC for the first time about the assault, which left her concussed and traumatised, the actress said it had caused her to move out of the capital to live with her mother. "I no longer feel safe calling west London home as a single woman," she said.
Last month, Zacariah Boulares, 18, was sentenced to 22 months in jail for common assault and three counts of theft.
Chenneour had been meeting her ex-boyfriend at Joe & The Juice on Kensington High Street when her phone was taken from a table.
