It is reported that around 10.55am, a 77-year-old woman was attacked by a man as she walked on Shiregreen Lane near Concord Sports Centre.  

The man is understood to have taken the woman's bag before running from the scene, leaving the woman unconscious on the ground.

The victim's bag and purse were found discarded nearby and have been recovered. It's understood cash totalling around £50 and a bank card were stolen during the incident. The woman was taken to hospital with serious injuries, where she remains. 

Enquiries are ongoing and we would now like to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time and may have seen what happened.
