A 19-YEAR-OLD man was attacked with a knife by robbers who also stole property from his car.

The victim had pulled into the disused Saxon Pub car park, on Easington Road, in Hartlepool, when two men approached his white Audi A3 at around 5.30pm on Saturday, December 13.

The first man is skinny and around 5ft 11ins with short blonde hair. He is thought to be in his 20s.

The second man was aged between 30 and 40, around 5ft 7ins and of a stocky build.
