Woman suffers head injuries in Swansea city centre mugging

A woman has suffered head injuries after falling in the middle of Carmarthen Road during a struggle when another woman attempted to grab her handbag.

The victim was walking towards Swansea's High Street at around 9.30pm on Tuesday, October 15, when she was approached from behind near Hall Street.

The suspect then asked the victim for £50 before grabbing the victim’s handbag strap, prompting a struggle which ended up in the middle of Carmarthen Road.

A South Wales Police spokesman said: “During the struggle the victim’s handbag strap has snapped which resulted in the victim falling backwards and hitting her head on a wall, which resulted in head injuries.

“The suspect is described as a white woman, aged in her late 20s about 5ft 4ins tall of average build. She had a cut to the bridge of her nose, a local accent and was wearing black”.

Anyone with information should contact 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 quoting occurrence 1900382098
