A WOMAN was punched in the head and suffered broken bones in her foot and shoulder during an 'unprovoked' assault in Northwood Hills.

The 44-year-old victim was targeted by two females in Joel Street at about 7pm on Sunday, April 4 this year, after they left the William Jolle pub.

One of the attackers is described as white, about 40 years old, 5ft 9 tall with shoulder-length hair and a proportionate build.

The other, thought to be a pensioner aged about 60, is also white with short blonde and grey hair, and of a chubby build.

One stamped on the foot of the victim, who suffers from the bone-weakening disease, osteoporosis, before the other punched her directly in the head, causing her to fall to the floor.

It is understood that, after the incident, a man and a woman, both described as white with dark hair, approached the victim while she was on the floor.

Police are appealing for the public to come forward if they have any information about the attack.

Investigating officer, DC Taylor said: "was an unprovoked assault, which resulted in a serious injury.

"The victim's recovery from the injuries is likely to be ongoing. There would have been people who were aware of the two females in the pub and I need the public's help to identify them."
