A WOMAN is missing two front teeth after a would-be robber attacked her in a Mansfield street.
Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident, which happened at around 9.20pm on Tuesday (5 February 2013) in Nottingham Road.
The 20-year-old victim was walking near Titchfield Park, opposite the Stonham Housing Association building, when a man grabbed her from behind and attempted to remove items from her pockets. She struggled free and he punched her in the face.
