DETECTIVES are hunting two would-be-robbers after they demanded a man hand over his MP3 player.
The victim, a 30-year-old man, was jogging along the disused railway track in Wickham.
He took a diversion through a wooded area between the line and the River Meon. Two men then blocked the path and one of the men demanded he hand over his MP3 player.
Officers have descriptions of the men they want to speak to. The man who demanded the victim hand over the MP3 player, is described as white, around 30-years-old, with a round face, a chunky build and ginger or brown hair. He was wearing a plain green and brown short sleeved t-shirt.
The second man is described as white, around 30-years and of a slim build with black or dark brown, untidy hair. He was wearing a black or dark blue coloured t-shirt.

“Were you in the area at the time of the incident? Did you see anyone matching the descriptions of the offenders? I would urge anyone with any information to get in touch with us at the earliest opportunity.”
