"At around 5pm on Wednesday, April 13, the victim, who is in her seventies, was approached by an unknown woman while waiting at a bus stop next to Boswells Café on Regent Street. She was punched several times to her head and body in an unprovoked assault.

"The offender then made off towards Bar 501, accompanied by two other men. The victim attended hospital to be checked over but thankfully did not suffer any serious injuries.
