A MAN was lured into a robbery trap by two women.

The 19-year-old was on the Old Turnpike road in Honley when the two women asked if they could walk with him at 11.45pm on Thursday.

Moments later he was jumped on from behind by two men who threw him to the ground.

He was struck on the head several times and kicked in the ribs.

Money was demanded but he managed to throw his attackers off. Then he slid down a banking and phoned the police.

The two attackers were described as white men in their early 20s. They wore dark clothes.

One of the women was white, aged about 19, 5ft tall and chubby, with long brown hair. She wore dark clothes.

The other woman was also white, about 5ft 4in and had a pitted complexion. She wore black clothes.

Anyone who knows who they are should ring Det Sgt Anil Shukla at Huddersfield CID on 01484 436582.
