A pensioner has suffered a broken jaw after being robbed outside a scout hall.

The 70-year-old was attacked on Shawmoss Road in Crossmyloof, Glasgow, at 7.30pm on Thursday.

She was pushed to the ground and robbed of her jewellery and mobile phone.

The attacker was eastern European, in his late 30s and slim. He had short dark hair, thick eyebrows and did not speak English.

He was wearing a dark jacket with red trim around the neck and white writing on the side. The man was also wearing dark trousers.
