Chelsea jeweller 'lucky to be alive' after hammer robbery
A jeweller who was injured by hammer-wielding robbers said he was "lucky to be alive" after his business was targeted last week.
Two masked men went into Bourbon-Hanby Arcade on Sydney Street, Chelsea, at about midday on 26 March, and smashed counters and threatened staff.
Ian Towning, 76, says he now cannot sleep after more than £100,000 worth of jewellery was stolen from the arcade.
The Metropolitan Police has appealed for witnesses to come forward.
