Woman robbed at knife-point on Grimsby's Catherine Street
THE hunt is on for knife-wielding thieves who pushed a woman against a garage door so hard they caused her nose to bleed, before stealing her purse.
Humberside Police said the 40-year-old victim was attacked as she walked along Grimsby's Catherine Street, between 5.30pm and 5.45pm on Monday, February 11.
She became aware of two men hanging around as she left a shop, then noticed they were following her as she headed towards her home address.
They then pushed her against the garage door and one brandished the knife as the other searched her pockets and stole the black velvet purse.

“this town is on a slippery slope to becoming a no go area and most worrying is how little the authorities are doing about it ,I believe their apathy towards our town is due to not much publicity out side the area and the backwater location of the area, the next few years will undoutbly be a triumph for the chavs, hoodies, and druggies who the police seem powerless or afraid to tackle .....”

“I'm not sure how to say this. Don't take me as condescending or placing any blame. I will stumble through this. Right, I'm not a small bloke, well built. Out on my own I keep a weary eye out for trouble. Not frightened but avoidance. Gangs or even pairs of hoodies I way up before our paths cross. Any doubt I would cross the road. If I'm followed, tells me a lot. Awarness is the name of the game. Not everyone will be able to handle themselves, so make for somewhere you can be seen. You could just knock on someones door to buy a bit of time.”

“Hi Darkwitch. It is something we are aware of.
We will be following the case through court and printing the outcome as soon as we can.
We have also spoken to the victim and he is aware of this.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.

“The guy was 65 and hit over the head with a metal bar, by a couple of chavs! why hasn't this been reported in the paper, the police know who did it. The disgusting thing about this was also the amount of people who just walked passed the poor old guy lying on the floor and even crossed the road to avoid him, good job there a few decent people left who called an ambulance and stayed with the guy until it arrived..”
