British elite cross-country runner Tom Evans was mugged, held at knifepoint, and beaten up on a Table Mountain hiking trail in Cape Town on Friday afternoon. Evans, 31, a professional runner, was in the Mother City to train for the popular RMB Ultra-trail Cape Town (UTCT) next weekend. In a video posted on social media on Saturday, Evans told his 60 000 followers he was "gutted" he would no longer participate in the event.
