To be fair, it does sound like a fairly vague case and I can understand why it would make you angry. Maybe I'm too much of an apologist for the establishment.

From what Cashy has told us of the incident it seems to me that there is ample evidence available that at least three crimes have been commited , two assaults (one causing injury) and the attempted theft of the lady's handbag , there might not be enough evidence available to secure a conviction , but there is enough to make it a reportable crime and as such it be noted and shown in the crime stats for that particular area as an unsolved crime ,
