In the early hours of January 26, at around 3.30am, the woman was walking down Westfield Lane when a man approached her.

He assaulted her before stealing her handbag. The woman suffered cuts and bruises to her head and knees.

The man has been described as a white man, around 40-50-years-old, of average build and 5 foot 5 ins tall.

He was wearing a blue cotton hoodie with a zip front and blue jeans.

The man was carrying two cans of Tisci larger (a white can with red writing on).
