A kind motorist who stopped to help a woman who flagged down his car fell victim of an attempted robbery.
The man was driving along Halesworth Road, Walpole, when he saw a car at the side of the road with its hazard lights on.
He stopped at around 7.25pm yesterday when a woman flagged him down and got out.
But a man then got out of the driver’s side of the car, grabbed his arm, and demanded his wallet.
The victim did not give his wallet, got back into his car and drove off.
Police are keen to trace the two people involved.
The man was white, aged in his late 20s, around 5ft 6ins tall, with short dark hair, of medium or muscular build and with a bump on his nose, an Eastern European accent and wearing a dark hooded top with dark tracksuit bottoms.
