A 65-year-old woman and her sister-in-law have been attacked and robbed of a cellphone at Diaz beach in Mossel Bay.
Police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Kappie Kapp says the two women were walking on the beach near the rocks at around lunchtime on Friday when they were approached by an unknown man.
He says the suspect demanded their cellphones and when they resisted, a scuffle broke out in which the 65-year-old sustained an injury to the hand.
Kapp says both women were assaulted before the robber fled with one cell phone.
The area is known as a crime hotspot with many similar incidents that took place over the past few months.
Police are investigating and no arrests have yet been made.
