The 20-year-old woman was followed and verbally abused by a group of four women and two men as she made her way from Bull Street towards the High Street.

On Moor Street she was grabbed by her hair from behind by one of the women and struck in her back. As she fell to the floor the woman grabbed her mobile phone and all six ran off.

The attack occurred just before 10pm on Saturday, August 30.

DC Alan Nevin said: "The young woman was extremely intimidated by the group and felt very threatened. She suffered minor injuries in the attack and has fully recovered.

"We particularly want to speak to a mixed race female, aged 18 - 21, 5ft 7 inches tall with a silver stud piercing on her left cheek, and wearing a black jacket, a black hat and grey jogging bottoms."
