Police are appealing for information about a robbery that took place in Gloucester on 3 August, diagnosis in which a man was attacked. A CCTV image is being released showing two males police wish to talk to.
The incident occurred in St James Street just after midnight when two males watched a man draw about a quantity of cash from a cashpoint at Sainsbury’s, drugs then followed him along St James Street.
The victim, aged 74, was pushed him to the ground outside ‘Antig Engineering’, punched and kicked in the head, body and legs, then robbed of his wallet containing the withdrawn cash, a bank card and bus pass. An ambulance attended and the victim, although having no visible injuries, was left feeling dizzy and shaken, and was taken to hospital for assessment.
The victim also lost his glasses and house key in the attack, although these were recovered by police.
