The woman bravely spoke out after a similar incident in the area this weekend
A Belfast woman has spoken of the terrifying moment she was the victim of an early morning robbery while walking to work.
A man in his 20s is reported to have approached two women at around 3.50am armed with a knife before grabbing a handbag and running away. "They were walking up the other side of the street and had walked on past me. I had one earphone in which I always do and was carrying a plastic bag with my handbag strapped across my chest.
She added: "I've never experienced anything like it in my life and I walk that same route at that time every morning. It was so frightening and it really shook me up but it just goes to show that this kind of thing can happen to anyone at any time of the day.
