A ROBBER pinned a man down and stole his mobile phone after he had fallen over in Bradford.

The victim was outside a shop on Duckworth Lane, Girlington, when he fell.

As he tried to get back up, he became aware that he was being pinned down by a man who then took the phone from his pocket.

Police said the robbery happened on Tuesday, November 29, between 7.15pm and 8.15pm.

A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police said the robber was a white man, about 6ft tall, and of slim build.
