Cops hunt tattooed young woman after boy, 12, savagely attacked as he walked home from school in attempted robbery
POLICE are hunting a tattooed young woman after a schoolboy was savagely attacked in an attempted robbery.
The 12-year-old was walking home from school in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, when he was ambushed by two female suspects.
He refused to hand over his mobile phone and bag – causing the pair to punch and kick the teen as he lay defenceless on the ground.
Both suspects made off without stealing anything and thankfully the victim was not seriously harmed.
Cambridge Police have now released an image of a woman they wish to speak to following the May 2 attack.
She can be seen wearing a black dress with the middle cutout and black and white Converse.
The woman also has distinctive tattoos on her legs.
