- description: Police hunting a man who robbed a woman in Manchester's Northern Quarter have released new CCTV footage. The images show a man detectives wish to speak to getting onto a bus and climbing to the top deck moments after the early-morning attack. At about 5.10am on Saturday 20 July 2013, a 23-year-old woman was walking along Thomas Street, wearing headphones and listening to music as she went. As she walked along Tib Street she was approached from behind by the offender, who had been following her. He grabbed the strap of her bag, forcing her to spin around. During a struggle over her bag the offender told the woman "give me your phone, or I'll slash your face," before hitting the woman on the back of the head with a glass bottle he had been carrying. She handed over her phone and ran off along Tib Street where she sought help from a taxi driver. The offender followed the victim and told the driver that she was his girlfriend and that he should ignore her as she was drunk. After releasing footage in late August, showing the attack, officers are now hoping that further images of a man getting on a bus at Shudehill station and climbing to the top deck may prompt further calls from the public. The offender is described as being a white man, who spoke with a broad Mancunian accent, in his mid-20s and with worn looking skin. He had green or blue eyes, a very closely shaved head, was clean shaven and had front teeth missing. He also had a tattoo on the left hand side of his neck. Police Constable Dave Stebbings, said: 'Our investigation into this traumatic experience for the victim is ongoing. 'We received a number of calls following our last appeal but we are still working hard to find the man responsible. 'We are hoping that anyone who thinks they may recognise the man from the new images will get in touch." Anyone with information is asked to call police on 0161 856 3221, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
