Witnesses are being sought to a robbery in which a 27-year-old man was attacked and forced to hand over cash and an MP3 player to three men.

According to police, the victim was walking along the path connecting Lower Queens Road with Heathfield Road, known as Chicken Alley, on Monday (9) at about 11pm, when three men walked past him before turning round and demanded cash and his MP3 player.
