Detectives are appealing for information after a man was assaulted with a ‘sharp weapon’ following an attempted robbery in Craigavon.
It was reported to police shortly after 9:45am this morning (Monday) that a man, aged in his 40s, had been approached by a man, who was also standing with another man, when he was walking in the underpass of the Tullygally Road in the Legahory area.
One of the suspects, believed to be around six foot, of skinny build and wearing dark clothing, approached the victim from behind and placed a hand on his shoulder.
He then demanded any valuables that were on him.
As the victim attempted to free himself and raise the alarm, the suspect assaulted him with a sharp weapon, causing non-life-threatening injuries to his stomach and thigh area.
The suspect made off from the scene with the other man.
Detective Sergeant Stewart said: “Our enquiries are ongoing and I would appeal to anyone who may be able to assist with our investigation to contact us on 101, quoting reference 432 11/03/24.
“We are especially keen to hear from anyone who was in the Tullygally Road area near Aldervale flats between 9am and 9:30am, and noticed anything suspicious, to get in touch.”
