Police are appealing for witnesses after a woman was dragged along the floor by a mugger.

The 48-year-old woman was unloading her car in Willan Road at around 11pm on Monday when a man approached her, grabbed her wrist and attempted to take her handbag.

The woman was pulled to the floor and dragged along the pavement before the robber took the bag and ran off.

The suspect has been described a man, wearing a light grey coloured hoodie and jeans.

Detective Constable Leon Ure from Haringey CID said: “This was a frightening ordeal for the victim and I will like to speak to anyone who was in the area that witnesses this robbery or who may know who the suspect is.”
