Beechdale nurse, 31, robbed as she cycled home from Queen's Medical Centre
A nurse from Beechdale was pushed off her bike and robbed by three men as she cycled home following a shift at Nottingham’s Queen’s Medical Centre.
The robbers attacked her as she entered Radford Bridge Road at the Crown Island, in Beechdale, as she cycled towards the railway bridge at around 11.30pm on Monday.

One of the offenders took her mobile phone and another took her rucksack, which contained her work uniform and paperwork. They then fled in the direction of Beechdale Road.
The victim, a 31-year-old woman, was left with bruising to her body and grazing to her knees.

One of the men was black, in his late teens or early 20s, and wore dark clothing and a hooded top.
The other two men were white, in their late teens or early 20s, and also wore dark clothing.
Police would like to speak to anyone who has information about the incident; particularly a white man on a bicycle who the victim recalls passed the offenders in Radford Bridge Road just before the robbery.
Detective Constable Mike Ebbins said: “It would appear that the offenders targeted the victim for her mobile phone; however they were not satisfied with just the phone and were intent on using violence against their unsuspecting victim to get her bag as well.
“She is a nurse and had just finished a long shift at the hospital and this is the last thing she was expecting on her way home. She was injured and incredibly shaken by the incident and I would urge anyone who has information to please contact police and tell us what you know.”
Police would like to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time who may have witnessed the attack or saw the offenders fleeing the scene.
Contact DC Ebbins at Oxclose Lane CID on 101 extension 803 4337 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

“@SonofSnott These thugs are the minority in society and yet they seem to have such power, I know people who don't dare to leave their house after a certain time because of brats like these.
an example, there was a road very close to where i live that after 6pm turned into and playground to dope smoking, bigoted, racist, contemptuous little twerps who saw fit to bully just about anyone who passed by.
That was until us neighbours got together and spoke to our local community about them and as luck would have it, some of their parents turned up and because we had photos of them and their parents recognised them, they were stopped very sharpish and they even apologised to local shop owners and neighbours. All because we were willing to get together and discuss the problem and try to get the brats faces known.
I know some people think that naming and shaming people is against their human rights and what not but i for one am sick of bullies like these being able to hide their disgusting behaviour and clear contempt for the community as a whole behind stupid rules and regs.”

“And the passers-by did just that. Street crime Is booming and the streets are unsafe because thugs go unchallenged. Nothing is more frightening to a street thug than the indignation of responsible citizens.”

“someone will know these sHHits and should hand them in before they do something even more serious. Any chance that if people like this are caught that the post would run a Name and Shame page?”
