POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a 40-year-old man from Switzerland was robbed as he walked along an alleyway in Southampton.
Two men approached him as he went down an alley between Milton Road and Archers Road.
One of the robbers was wearing some sort of white mask and punched the man in the face. He then hit him in the face with a beer can breaking his nose.
They took his wallet from him which contained some bank cards, £220 and around £50 in Euros and Swiss Francs. They then made off across Hill Lane and then down Howard Road.
The victim was treated for his broken nose and has since flown home to Switzerland very shaken by his experience.
The first robber is described as white, around 5ft 11in, slim build, wearing a white zip up fleece and a white hooded mask. The other robber was wearing a black jacket.
Officers are now asking for anyone who saw the men or thinks they know who carried out the attack between 7pm and 7.45pm on Sunday, November 30 to contact them.
They are asked to call PC Steve Ashenden at in the Southampton Robbery Investigation Team at Hulse Road on 0845 045 4545 or call Crimestoppers, the charity, anonymously on 0800 555 111.
