A WOMAN hit her head on the ground during a violent robbery at a town centre car park.

She was unlocking her car in Pool Street, Bolton, when a man walked up behind her and shouted: “Give me your bag”.

The robber grabbed her handbag and the 53-year-old woman resisted, which led to a struggle. The woman fell and hit her head on the ground as the robber ran off with her bag. He got away with £40, credit cards, a purse and gloves.

The robbery happened at around 5.20pm on Saturday and the offender was dressed in black.
