The man had his wallet and mobile phone stolen.
Two men have since been arrested and bailed until September 16.

On a more serious note, I sincerly hope the young woman gets over the attack quickly and that the attacker is caught.

The BFP have failed to report that £140,000 has been taken from a local drug dealer following his conviction.
The readers of The Bucks Free Press provide more news coverage than those employed to keep us informed.
REPORTING IS A LOST ART.

what was she doing alone at 11pm - whether it be tesco loudwater or tesco town centre - I for one would be wary of using a cash machine at 11am on my own!!!
However, I hope the poor lady will be Ok, and at the end of the day why can't a woman take money out of a cashpoint at any time of day without the fear of some scumbag t****r thinking he has a right to her money.
Hope he is locked up
