Police in Bridgwater are investigating the violent robbery of a man as he walked through the town.

It happened on Wednesday January the 4th between 10 and 11 P-M, on Cranleigh Gardens behind the Lime Kiln pub.

Officers say he was approached from behind and struck on the back of the head, then his legs were kicked from under him and he fell - before the offenders demanded he hand over money, which he did.
