A MAN is due to appear at Isleworth Crown Court today over a robbery which left an elderly pensioner with severe facial injuries and a broken arm.

Omar Ali Musa, 18, from Enfield Road, Acton, is charged with robbing an 87-year-old lady on Saturday, September 15, at the junction of Cheltenham Place and Edgecote Close, as she walked back to her home on the estate.

Two other men have also been charged over the offence.
