London riots victim to have stolen PSP replaced by Sony

Ashraf Haziq, the student who was mugged during the rioting in London earlier this week, is to be given a new PSP by Sony.

Sony has said that it will replace a PSP stolen from a mugging victim during the London riots.

Ashraf Haziq, a Malaysian student who had suffered a broken jaw and was bleeding on the side of the road, was helped to his feet before the contents of his backpack were stolen.

Footage of the incident was printed in newspapers and shown on national television, and prompted a website to be set up to help "do something nice" for Haziq.

Sony has since responded and said that it will replace his stolen PSP, according to VG247.

"If we can find out how to get it to him we'll replace the PSP," said a representative for the firm.

Sony itself was impacted by the riots earlier this week, when its warehouse in Enfield, North London burned down on Monday night.

The nationwide riots have also halted the filming of Sherlock's second series, while Jamie Oliver's restaurant in Birmingham was "smashed up".
