Margaret Craig aged 63 told how she was mugged for her bingo winnings. She was kicked in the face by a mugger who snatched her bag containing her bingo winnings. Margaret was taken straight to hospital after the attack. Police are now hunting for the mugger who performed what can only be described as a terrible attack.
Margaret, of Aberdeen, said: “I was at the bingo and decided to walk home because it was such a nice night.
“I was going on to Portal Terrace when I heard someone running behind me.
“When I turned round, this guy started pulling my bag and said, ‘Give me it.’
“I swore at him and said no but he kept pulling and pulling and we struggled.”
She said the man then pointed a silver sharp object against her hand and she stumbled to the ground.
She added: “I landed on the grass verge. That’s when he kicked me in the face.
“When he kicked me a second time, the strap broke and he ran away. I screamed and screamed. A guy came down and helped me.”
Margret was treated for minor injuries, including a big bruise on her eye and later released.
Police constable Duncan MacKintosh said: “This was a terrible attack on a lone woman.
“We are determined to find the person who was responsible.”
