A MAN has been pushed up against a shop and robbed.
The 23-year-old was outside the William Hill betting shop in Newcastle’s Bigg Market when two men pushed him against the shutters, threatened him and stole cash.
The incident happened at about 2.10am on Sunday, September 22.
Both attackers were white and spoke with local accents.
One is described as being in his late 20s or early 30s, about 6ft tall with a shaven bald head, sunken eyes and high cheek bones. He was wearing a long sleeved grey top with a hood and blue jeans.
The second is described as being in his late 20s, of heavy build, with short brown hair and a round face. He was wearing a navy blue round-necked jumper and lighter jeans.
Northumbria Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward by calling the police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800-555-111.
