POLICE are appealing for information after a woman had her handbag snatched in a robbery in Wyke, Bradford.
Two 19-year-old women were walking in Wyke Recreation Ground when a man approached and grabbed one of their handbags. The strap snapped and the man ran away with the bag towards the Town Gate entrance.
Neither woman was hurt, but one needed medical assistance for breathing difficulties after she gave chase.
The bag contained a number of personal items and a Sony Xperia mobile phone.
The suspect is described as white, in their 20s, about six feet tall, and of slim build. He was clean shaven, with dark hair, wearing a dark hooded top, dark tracksuit bottoms, and white trainers.
The incident occurred between 1.20am and 1.40am on Sunday, March 1.
Contact DC 1926 McFarlane at Bradford District CID on 101 if you can help.
