Police are hunting two men after two women were attacked while walking alone in Cardiff.
Both were punched and one was threatened with a knife before handbags were snatched and the men escaped on bicycles.

"Such violence will not be tolerated and to target lone women in this way is particularly cowardly," a spokesperson for South Wales Police said.
