A 79-year-old was left with a fractured shoulder when she was mugged for her handbag.

The woman was walking along Felbridge Avenue, Stanmore, at 5pm on November 4 when she was pushed to the ground from behind.

The impact of the fall caused her to lose her walking stick. The attacker grabbed her bag, got into a car and drove off.

The victim was taken to a west London hospital where she was treated for a fractured shoulder.

Her attacker is described as a thin man wearing dark clothing.
