The attack happened outside Peel Park Post Office in Airedale Street, Undercliffe, at about 5:35pm on Friday.

The 41 year old victim had to be treated at Bradford Royal Infirmary but his injuries were not described as serious.

The suspects are believed to have made off towards Chatham Street. Investigations are continuing.
