A MAN is due to appear in court today (Thursday) in connection with the assault and robbery of a woman in Musselburgh.
The incident happened at about 11.20pm last Wednesday (March 20) when a 59-year-old woman was passing the rear of the Royal Mail sorting office on Millhill Lane.
She was pushed to the ground and her handbag was pulled from her shoulder and stolen.
The woman sustained a minor head injury and was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh as a precaution.
An 18-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the incident and is expected to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
