In a video (below) that appalled the nation, looters were seen to steal the system from Haziq's bag as he stood bleeding in the street.
"I'm the marketing director for PlayStation UK," Duncan posted under the username 'albinolove33'. "[We'd] like to give him a new PSP and games. Let me know the best way of getting in touch with Ashraf or the hospital. Thanks."
Sony is also one of the many victims of the London riots. A Sony warehouse in Enfield was set ablaze (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/314701/sony-hit-by-london-riots-enfield-warehouse-torched/) late on Monday night as unrest swept the capital.http://www.computerandvideogames.com/315024/sony-offers-mugged-london-riots-victim-free-psp-and-games/
