A ROBBER put his hand around a woman's throat and demanded money from her as she walked home after a night out in Kidderminster.

The woman felt something sharp pushed into her back when the robbery took place on Sunday, July 6, at 2am, but she did not see a weapon.

The 29-year-old victim was grabbed from behind as she was walking along Park Street, near to the New Unity Pub, Kidderminster.

She opened her bag and the offender took her purse which contained £50 and cigarettes.

The robber let the woman go and she ran home.
