The youth was chased by two white men and an Asian man, but they lost sight of him.
The woman was shocked but uninjured.
The suspect is white, about 20 years old, 5ft 11ins with a slim build, pale complexion, and short dark hair, which was longer and slightly wavy on top. He was wearing a cream-coloured T-shirt with a broad red stripe on the front and blue Adidas pants.
