Police
have released this CCTV still of a suspect they are hunting after the
sister and mother of TV presenter Myleene Klass were hurt during a
night time bag-snatch attempt.
Officers
on Haringey borough say a 33 year-old woman, who was with a 67
year-old companion in Whittington Road, Wood Green on January 7 was
targeted by a street mugger.
She
was aproached at 9.20pm and the suspect tried to snatch her handbag,
dragging her to the ground and along the pavement.
The
older woman tried to hold onto the victim, but was also dragged along
during the violent struggle.
Eventually
the assailant fled the scene empty-handed.
The
woman received minor injuries, but did not require hospital treatment
and no items were taken.
Both
women were very distressed by the incident.
No
arrests have been made and enquiries are continuing.
Detective
Constable Pat Dunne from the Haringey Acquisitive Crime Unit said:
“This was a terrifying attack on two women on a main road.
