Officers are appealing for witnesses following the robbery, which happened in the early hours of Friday morning.
At about 1am, a 31-year-old woman and a 58-year-old man were walking along Perry Street.
They were then attacked by a man who pushed the woman to the floor and stole her handbag. He then turned to the man and punched him in the face, knocking him to the floor.
Both victims received minor injuries.
