Woman robbed outside City Hospital
Detectives in south Belfast have appealed for information after a woman was robbed close to Belfast City Hospital during the early hours of Sunday morning.
At around 1.20am the woman was walking from the hospital towards the Lisburn Road when a man in his early 20’s approached her from behind and attempted to steal her handbag.
During the ensuing struggle the victim was pulled to the ground and dragged for a short distance.

The robber is described as being around 5’9’ tall, of thin build, with dark hair and was wearing a tan jacket and tan trousers.
