Linsey Perry, 41, no fixed address, was charged with robbery, criminal damage, public order and two counts of assaulting an emergency worker and was due to appear in court on Tuesday.

Det Con Andrew Brownless, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "This must have been a terrifying experience for the woman who was left stranded on the floor following the attack as she is unable to walk unaided.

"A 41-year-old woman was quickly detained. We'll always instantly respond to incidents where there's a concern for someone's safety and we're glad that we were quickly able to locate a woman and make a quick arrest. There is no danger to the wider community as the pair know of each other.”
