Police

the ground and had cash he'd withdrawn from a bank snatched.
Police
in Haringey have released this image of a woman they would like to
speak to in connection with the robbery, which left the victim
suffering a hip injury.
On
Friday, February 5 at 1.00pm, the victim was walking along Tottenham
High Road, Tottenham, having used a cash machine inside Santander
bank, Fore Street.

victim sustained an injury to his hip as a result of robbery and was

was later discharged.
The
suspect is described as a black woman, possibly of mixed race, aged
around 40 to 45 years-old and was seen wearing a long dark jacket.
