Kilkenny Gardaí are looking for witnesses after two young men approached a woman on High Street in the city last night and demanded cash.
She was trying to get back into her car at Argos when the incident happened.
The culprits are described as teenage boys, dressed in dark clothes who spoke with local accents.
Anyone who was in the area between 8.15pm and 8.35pm is asked to contact Kilkenny Gardaí.
