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 decker 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.

He stole a mobile phone, a wallet containing money and cigarettes.

A police spokesman said the victim was unhurt but “shaken”.

The suspect is described as as white, aged 24 to 26, 5ft 6in to 5ft 8in 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.

Anyone who witnessed the robbery on Monday, between 5.45pm and 6pm or has any information about the suspect should contact PC Richard Sheard at Bradford South CID on 0845 6060606 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
