The car stopped before two men and one woman got out. The male driver approached the women and punched her in the face, causing her to fall to the ground. The victim then felt a blunt instrument against her neck.

A member of the public stopped and shouted at the group, who ran back to the car and drove off.

The main offender is described as white and of a stocky build and the female rear passenger is described as having a dark complexion and long curly hair.
