Fat knifeman threatened woman

A HUNT is underway for a fat, balding thug who pulled a knife on a woman in a supermarket car park in Chesterfield and ordered her to withdraw money from a cashpoint.

The woman was outside Morrisons when she was approached by a would-be robber in his late 40s who pulled a kitchen knife from a carrier bag and demanded cash.

She managed to run inside the store to raise the alarm and escaped from her ordeal unhurt.
