An E-fit image of a man with lip studs suspected of robbing a woman at knifepoint in Harlow has been released.
The attack is said to have happened near to a pedestrian crossing outside the post office at Bush Fair Shopping Centre shortly before 7am on Sunday.
The woman had been sitting in the driver's seat of a gold Volvo, waiting for her husband to return from the newsagent when a man opened the front passenger door and brandished a knife before stealing a handbag and running off towards Brays Mead.
The knifeman is described as white, aged in his late 20s or early 30s, of medium build with the silver studs across his top lip.
At the time, he was wearing a dark padded jacket on top of a grey hoodie and blue jeans.
The woman, who lives locally, was uninjured.
