A woman's cries for help as she was being mugged went unheeded.
The 18-year-old was waiting for a lift to work at the Ruby Terrace junction of Borough Road, Middlesbrough, at about 8.20am on Monday when the incident happened.
She was approached by a woman aged about 20, with brown hair and wearing a cream fleece top, who demanded money, before knocking her to the ground.
As the pair struggled on the pavement, a man walked past.
She pleaded with him for help, but he walked on. The mugger escaped with £40.
Anyone with information, especially the witness, is asked to contact PC Mick Hunt, on (01642) 303126.
