AN elderly woman was recovering yesterday after two muggers dragged her to the ground while snatching her handbag.
The 78-year-old was walking along Grange Road, Middlesbrough, at 4pm on Monday when the men approached her and grabbed the bag, pulling her to the ground, where she banged her head.
The robbers made off with the bag, containing £150 and keys, and the woman was taken to Middlesbrough General Hospital, where she was treated for shock.
Anyone with information is asked to call PC David Moore, of Middlesbrough police, on (01642) 303126.
