Images have been released of a woman wanted after an attempted mobile phone snatch at a tram stop.

A picture of a man who was at the scene has also been released.

The incident took place on July 2 at Sandilands tram stop at about 9pm.

As he moved away from the woman, she suddenly struck the man on the side of the head before running away.

“The incident has understandably left the victim feeling shocked and shaken.”
