A woman has suffered a fracture to her skull and a bleed to her brain after she was violently robbed in Kenton yesterday evening.
The 31-year-old sustained the serious head injuries after she was attacked in Mayfield Avenue at the junction with Kenton Road, around 7.30pm.
She was walking home when a man pulled her bag from her shoulder.
Detectives are not sure if she was pushed to the ground during the attack or she fell before she was found by a passerby.
The robber made off with her bag which contained a mobile phone, some foreign currency and bank cards.
The phone and some personal items were later recovered in nearby Kenton recreation ground.
The victim is in a stable condition in hospital and her injuries are not being treated as life-threatening.
