An 80-year-old woman has sustained serious facial injuries after being assaulted and robbed in Dundee.
The pensioner had her handbag with a three-figure sum of cash stolen at the junction of Lilybank Terrance and Lilybank Road on Saturday night between 10.20pm and 10.50pm.
After being pushed to the ground the lady had to be taken to Ninewells Hospital to receive treatment and has since been released.
Officers are keen to speak to two male youths, aged in their late teens, and both wearing dark clothing. They were seen at the time and then running in the direction of Broughty Ferry Road.
Detective Sergeant Craig Kelly said: “This lady was robbed and left not only seriously injured but distraught by what happened.
“We are keen to speak to anyone who saw what happened or who knows who the youths are and where they might be.
“If you can help please contact us on 101, quoting incident number 3871 of Saturday, 26 November, or make a call anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
