WOMAN PLUCKILY RESISTS BAG-SNATCHER
DRAGGED DOWN STEPS Press Association. DUNEDIN, Wednesday. A particularly determined attempt at bag-snatching occurred at about 8.30 p.m. yesterday. While a woman was ascending the steps from Phillip Street, opposite the Kensington Hotel, to the Main South Road, a man suddenly seized her handbag and attempted to wrest it from her. She maintained a firm grip, however, and ’when the would-be thief tugged a second time she was jerked off her balance and dragged several feet down the steps,, receiving injuries to her face. .... The woman pluckily refused to let go and when she screamed her assailant fled. Several people at once came to her assistance. The man has so far not been arrested.
