The 68-year-old victim was just dropping off some dry cleaning in Station Road, Liphook, at around 2pm on Tuesday when he was approached by a woman aged between 17 and 25.
‘She engaged him in conversation before becoming involved in a struggle while repeatedly touching his chest and arms,’ a police statement said.

The robbery is similar to two offences that took place in July this year in Emsworth and Ringwood where male victims also had Rolex watches stolen off their wrists after being approached by women.
The public have been asked to lookout for an old style, dark coloured BMW with left hand drive and a Polish index number possibly starting FZE or PZE which is potentially linked to the Liphook robbery.
The car has the three coloured stripes logo on the grill and tinted rear windows.

‘The woman, who did not speak good English, is described as being white, slim and around 5ft 6in tall. She had light brown hair tied back in a ponytail and a light coloured face mask. She was also wearing a white or grey fleece, faded blue jeans and white trainers.
‘She is believed to have got into the BMW immediately following the robbery, which was parked nearby.’
