A woman in her 60s was walking along Granville Street with her husband when a man approached them at around 4.20pm on Tuesday (February 8.).
The man – later identified as 18-year-old Kevin Pohlodko – snatched the victim's handbag before fleeing the scene, dropping a knife as he ran towards Keighley Road.
The victim tried to chase after Pohlodko but was told to stop by her husband after he had found the defendant’s large black sheathed knife.
