A woman ran away from two teenage boys after one pulled a knife out during an attempted robbery in a Suffolk town.

The woman was walking along Ship Meadow Walk in Woodbridge at about 12.50am on Sunday, September 29, when she was reportedly approached by two boys and one asked what was inside her purse.

One boy then reportedly pulled a knife out from a dark-coloured bum bag which was worn across his chest, before the victim ran off.
