TWO yobs punched a woman in her 80s and pulled her hair, then fled when she fell to the ground.

The woman was hanging out her washing in her garden in Camden Road, Bridgwater, between 9am and 10am on Saturday when she spotted two men in her garage trying to move a compressor.

After assaulting her, they fled towards the Malt Shovel pub.

One was about 18, slim, around 5ft 6ins tall, and spoke with a stutter.

The second suspect was about 20, about 6ft tall, and slim. Both were white, and wore blue hooded tops, jeans and sports shoes.

Anybody with information should call Crimestoppers on 0800-555111.
