At around 11pm on Sunday a 29-year-old was threatened with an army flick knife and punched in her stomach when she was attacked by a man on Ornan Road.
The woman had tried to run away when she noticed the robber was following her, but he caught up with her and pulled her handbag from her shoulder. When she tried to resist he pulled out the knife and assaulted her.
Last Thursday at around 10.30pm a 35-year-old woman was robbed on Quex Road when a man grabbed her and held his hand over her mouth. She managed to scream and threw her mobile phone on the floor before her attacker fled.
