A THUG who has robbed and knocked two women to the ground is being hunted by police.

The teenage lout has attacked two women in Perret Walk, Kidderminster.

The Shuttle/Times and News reported two weeks ago how the slightly built yob floored a 65-year-old woman who had just collected her pension.

On New Year's Day he struck again and attacked a woman, in her 40s, at 4.10pm.

He ran up to her and grabbed her handbag.

She put up a struggle but the thug pulled her to the ground.

The strap of the handbag snapped and he made off with the bag which contained £30 and £15 of Marks and Spencer gift vouchers.

The youth is described as about 14 years old, slim build and about 5ft 2in tall.

He was wearing a short, white jacket and had short, dark hair.
