Coronation Street's drunken David Platt mugged at knifepoint as he begins to self-destruct

mirror.co.uk:

David Platt struggles to cope in the wake of his wife Shona asking for a divorce and begins to self-destruct... resulting in him being mugged at knifepoint.

Next week on Coronation Street, Gail is horrified when she discovers that David has been seeing Alina and swiftly gives him a piece of her mind.

The hairdresser, played by Jack P Shepherd, doesn't take kindly to Gail's words and storms out. He ends up drinking away his sorrows and staggers around the streets when two muggers suddenly grab him and drag him into an alley, pulling a knife on him.

Thankfully, David manages to push the muggers away and sprints off, getting away via a fire escape when the muggers give chase.
