They were pushed to the ground when the robbers demanded money, between 5.30am-5.40am.

The robbers made off with a rucksack containing two mobile phones and a small amount of cash, but the mother and son, who were in their 50s and early 20s, were not injured.

After the attack the robbers made off through a ginnel back to Old Bank Road, running past the Thirsty Man pub, towards London Park estate.

An 18-year-old man from Dewsbury was arrested on suspicion of robbery on 12 March and has been released on police bail while enquiries are ongoing.
