POLICE are appealing for witnesses to an attack on a 61-year-old man.
The attack happened as the man, who lives at Normanby, Middlesbrough, was walking home with his dog from the Parklands pub on Friday.
He had walked from Skipper's Lane to Lynton Road when he was approached from behind, possibly by two people, at about 11.15pm.
He was pushed to the ground and robbed of £80.
The man was left unconscious for about 45 minutes, before being taken to Middlesbrough General Hospital suffering from severe bruising and lacerations. He was detained for observation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Constable Tony Wilson on (01642) 302626.
