Police are appealing for information after an attempted robbery on a teenager in Milnsbridge.
The attack happened at 8.30pm on Sunday, at Greenway when a man approached her from behind and tried to steal the 18-year-old’s handbag, pushing her to the floor.
While she was prostrate he stood over her and kept on trying to steal the bag.
But the incident came to an end when she kicked him causing him to fall over and giving her the chance to run away.
The suspect is described as being in his 30s, around 5ft 11ins to 6ft and with a stocky build.
He spoke with a foreign accent and had his face covered with a black scarf and had dark eyes and eyebrows.
He was wearing a black-hooded top, blue jeans and black, muddy Nike trainers and black leather gloves.
