Two men are wanted in connection with an attempted robbery in Three Bridges.

A 40-year-old man was attacked around 9.45 Wednesday evening on a pathway heading under the Hazelwick flyover.

Both suspects emerged from the bushes.  One punched the victim in the face and the other pushed him to the ground.

The victim was repeatedly hit whilst on the ground but it is unknown whether a weapon was used.

His pockets were searched but nothing stolen.

The two suspects ran off in the direction of Pondwood Road.

Both men are described as white, about 5′ 8″ tall and of medium build.
