POLICE are appealing for information to trace a robber who approached two lone women in Oxford on the same day.
The first incident happened at 6.30pm on Monday. The woman was walking over the footbridge from Friar's Wharf when she saw a man standing at the far end.
He demanded money and the woman handed over £10. The man then ran away.
The second incident happened close by about 15 minutes later as the woman was walking along the banks of the River Thames near Riverside Court and Marlborough Road.
The man threatened her and demanded money although the woman refused to hand over any.
The man in both incidents is described as white, 5ft 6in tall, stocky build with dark brown receding hair. He has a round face and is in his twenties or thirties. He spoke with a South African accent.
He was wearing a dark sweatshirt and a navy baseball cap.
Anyone with information should contact PC Jo-Anne Holland, of Oxford police, on 0845 8 505 505 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
