LOUGHTON: Man assaulted with spanner and knife
A MAN needed hospital treatment after a robber attacked him with a spanner and knife.
The 22-year-old victim left Debden tube station shortly before 9.30pm on Wednesday (April 11) when he noticed a man was following him down The Broadway and later Borders Lane.
At the location of a speed camera the assailant hit the man over the head with a spanner. He then tried to grab the victim's bag which he was carrying across his body.
He produced a knife and took the bag, which contained a mobile phone and cash, before making off back towards The Broadway.
The victim was taken to hospital where he was treated and released with a superfical wound to his head.
The robber was a white male of large build, about 5ft 11ins tall with short ginger hair. He was wearing a white T-shirt.
Anyone with information is asked to call DC Ryan Burgess of Waltham Abbey CID on 01279 625513.
