An elderly woman's harrowing 999 call she made moments after being robbed by a knifeman who threatened to slit her throat has been released by police.
Anthony Ormond burst into the flat in a sheltered accommodation complex while the 71-year-old victim watched TV and threatened to stab and strangle her.
Ormond, 30, was captured on CCTV lurking in the hallway of the warden-assisted flats shortly before he barged into the woman's home.
After holding a knife to the woman's throat, Ormond fled with a purse and £500 in cash.
