Between 6.30pm and 6.40pm, a 22-year-old man was walking on Griff Lane, on the footbridge over the A444 leading towards Bermuda Park. As he walked around the corner of the footpath, he was approached by two males.

He was then assaulted by the males and his grey rucksack, which contained a yellow Acer Iconia tablet, was stolen. He sustained injuries to his hand and ear. 

The offenders then ran off in the direction of Griff Lane and Coventry Road.

An Asian man in his twenties, 5ft 7ins, of an athletic build. He had a short dark beard, and was believed to be wearing a black beanie hat, a black jacket and blue denim jeans.

A white male, around 17 years old, 5ft 4ins, of a slim build. He was believed to be wearing a blue hooded top, with the hood tight around his face.
