A woman is recovering after being mugged in Derry this afternoon.
A PSNI spokesperson said detectives were appealing for witnesses after the woman was the victim of a street robbery around 1.30pm in the Lower Road area.
A male wearing a hooded top punched the lady in the back before making off with her handbag in the direction of William Street.
The police spokesperson said anyone who was in the area between 1.30pm and 2.00pm could help police with their enquiries and asked them to contact Strand Road CID on 0845 600 8000.
Alternatively, if someone would prefer to provide information without giving their details, they could contact the independent charity Crimestoppers and speak to them anonymously on 0800 555 111.
