A toddler has been suffering "terrible nightmares" after her buggy was knocked over while her mother’s handbag was snatched in north London.
Video of the incident, which happened on Sunday afternoon, shows the mother and daughter on Darenth Road in Stamford Hill.
A man is seen running along the pavement towards the woman and her two-year-old.
He knocks the buggy over before grabbing the handbag and running back the way he came.
The little girl was unharmed, and while her mother was shocked, she did not need hospital treatment.
"This was a horrific robbery. The woman is still very shaken and scared to leave her home," said Chaim Kahan from the Stamford Hill Shomrim neighbourhood watch group.
"The two-year-old girl who was toppled over in the buggy has since had terrible nightmares, waking up every few minutes, asking if the robber has already been caught."
Metropolitan Police said the suspect was a "light-skinned black male, aged 25-30 years (and) 5ft 9ins tall".
He is described as slim build with short cropped black hair and dressed in a blue trench coat and blue jeans.
Anyone with information is urged to call police on 101 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
