A robber dragged a 27-year-old man into a bus shelter and threatened him with a knife after getting off a bus in Bradford.

The robber got off a double deck bus from Halifax in Hollingwood Lane, Great Horton, and followed his victim towards Bradford Road.

He then ran past the man and lay in wait at a bus shelter, grabbing the man as he walked past, and threatened him with a craft knife.

His mobile phone, a wallet containing money and his cigarettes were stolen.

A police spokesman said the victim was unhurt but "shaken". The suspect is described as a white man, aged 24 to 26, 5ft 6ins to 5ft 8ins tall and clean shaven.

He was wearing a grey hooded jacket, grey woolly hat, dark tracksuit bottoms, white trainers and a pair of green gloves. He spoke with a squeaky voice in a local accent.

The robbery happened on Monday between 5.45pm and 6pm.

Anyone who witnessed the robbery or has any information about the suspect should contact PC Richard Sheard at Bradford South CID on 0845 6060606 or Crimestoppers, on 0800 555111.
