The child was reportedly pushed in the struggle as the man tried to take her bag, and she fell backwards and struck her head on the floor.

She gave police the description of a man with a tattoo on his wrist possibly showing a wolf.

But on Tuesday police announced that “as a result of the investigation that followed, and the cooperation of the child’s parents, the complaint has been determined to be unfounded. No further action will be taken” by police.
