A woman was pushed to the ground in what is thought to have been an attempted robbery.

The lady, who is in her 30s, was walking through Benover Road close to Killicks Cottages, Yalding, when a man asked to borrow her phone at 10.40pm on Tuesday, November 14.

When she said no the man pushed her to the ground and ran off across Yalding Bridge towards Maidstone.

She had a cut and bruising to the face and her phone was damaged.

Police have appealed for information about the man, who is thought to be in his 20s.

A spokesman for Kent Police said: "Anybody who saw incident or saw anybody running across the bridge at the time in question is asked to contact Kent Police on 01622604100 quoting reference YY/33970/17.

"Alternatively contact Kent Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111."
