The victim was in Shirley Drive, close to the junction of Whitelands, at 6.30pm on Monday October 29 when she was approached by two men who asked if she had a bag.

When she said no, she was pushed to the ground and suffered bruising and grazing to her cheek bone, hand and knees. The offenders then ran off.
