A TODDLER was punched in the head by two teenage girls during an attempted robbery in Wembley.

The two-year-old was with her 23-year-old mother when they were attacked by yobs in Preston Road at 4.45pm last Tuesday.

Police say the teenagers demanded money before punching the mother in the arm and hitting her daughter.

Two 17-year-old girls have been arrested and charged with attempted robbery and appeared at Brent Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.

They have been remanded in custody to reappear at court on November 17.
