Police are appealing for information about an attack on a woman near Crown Point Shopping Centre earlier in the week.
The victim, a woman in her 40s, was approached by three men as she walked back to her parked blue Audi S3. Three men got out of a Citroen Berlingo and attacked the woman, threatening her with bladed weapons before making off in her car.
The assault happened in Butterley Street in Hunslet, near to the Crown Point Shopping Centre, at about 5.30pm on Wednesday, August 25.
The woman was taken to the hospital for treatment and her car was found a short time later in East End Park.
Police have now released CCTV images of the Citroen Berlingo used in the armed robbery.
