Police are appealing for witnesses following an attack on a 44-year-old local man in Camelford Street, Brighton, in the early hours of Saturday, October 27.
The victim was approached by two men at around 3.30am, who then punched and kicked him to the ground before going through his pockets and stealing his wallet.
Detective Sergeant Steve French said:
“The victim was very shaken and received cuts and bruises in the attack.
“Officers have been viewing CCTV from the area and making local enquiries. We are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the robbery or saw two men, wearing light coloured jackets and jeans hanging around the Van Allen building shortly before the robbery. If you have any information that could help police with their enquiries then please call 101 quoting serial 270 of 27/10 or alternatively leave an anonymous message with the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
