Mangalore: That women are highly unsafe on Mangalore roads, particularly during night time has been once again proved by an incident that took place at Lower Bendore in Mangalore on May 22, Tuesday.
It has been reported that an unidentified man tried to snatch the hand bag of a woman who was on way to her house which was at a walking distance from her boutique.
According to the woman, a man tried to overpower her from behind leaving her on the ground. She held her handbag tight despite his efforts to snatch it. He later fled the scene when the woman raised a cry and a few other passersby rushed to her help.
This incident has clearly revealed that women have to be extra cautious while on road during night time. This bid to snatch handbag is only a latest addition to the several chain snatching cases reported in the city and elsewhere in the recent past.
