A nurse who was grabbed and robbed as she walked to the shops has told how she is now suffering from flashbacks of the terrifying incident.

Nikki Buckle, 26, was walking from her Trinity Court flat along Kings Road at about 5.30pm when she noticed a man standing near the Esso garage.

She said: “He looked a bit shifty. As I walked past he jumped in front of me and then grabbed my arm and asked me what money I had.

“I said I had no money whatsoever.

“I was begging and pleading with him to let me go."

The incident happened last Thursday. Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101
