Police are appealing for witnesses following an attempted robbery in Moredon yesterday evening.
At around 8.20 pm, on Moredon Road between Bourne Road and Church Walk, an unknown male suspect approached the victim, a woman in her 20s, from behind while she was walking to the bus stop.
The suspect has assaulted the victim and has demanded money, as well as her phone and purse.
Fortunately, a local resident has come out of their house and the suspect has left without taking anything.
The victim suffered minor injuries and has understandably been left shaken up.
The suspect is wearing what appears to be a grey-coloured hoodie and trousers.
Police are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with CCTV, dash cam or ring doorbell footage to get in touch.
If you can help, please contact police via our website or on 101 quoting reference 54240010628.
