The woman, who has not been named, ran after the man along Wrockwardine Road after he grabbed her bag between 12.50am and 1.10am yesterday.
She got it back when the thief dropped it but found her black HTC mobile phone and about £30 in cash had gone.
Police this afternoon hailed the woman as 'very brave' – but warned people not to chase thieves.
Anyone with information is asked to call 101.
