Crime reporter(wp/es):
These are the shocking injuries inflicted on a woman by a hooded robber who shoved her to the ground before viciously attacking her in an alleyway.
Philippa May, 43, suffered severe facial cuts and bruising after she was pushed to the floor as she walked through Uxbridge town centre.
The man, who was wearing a hooded top and gloves, attacked Ms May and stole her rucksack and two mobile phones.
Ms May was walking down St John’s Road in Uxbridge town centre at around 07.30pm on Halloween when she turned into an alley which leads to Culvery Lane.
After the attack she managed to make her way to her partner's house where she phoned the police.
The suspect ran back down the main road past the General Elliott pub.
Some of her belongings were later recovered in nearby Rockingham Park but the rucksack and phones remain missing.
Investigating Officer Detective Constable Reda Imane said: "Philippa has taken the brave step of releasing an image which shows the extent of her injuries and highlight the excessive violence used by her attacker.
"Philippa was lucky she did not suffer more serious injuries but it goes without saying that her ordeal was extremely traumatic and she has yet to return to work.
