Police have released CCTV images of suspects they want to trace in connection with the assault and robbery of a teenager in Bradford.
Detectives have issued the stills of three men they want to question in connection with the incident, which took place in a snicket off Kings Road, Eccleshill, in the early evening of Sunday, March 18.
The victim, an 18-year-old man, was approached by the three suspects, who had been following him. One of them grabbed him and knocked him to his knees, where he was assaulted by the group, who demanded his property.
The three men, who were described as Asian, made off with the victim's iPhone and lighter, leaving him shocked and with minor facial injuries.
Inspector David Roberts, of Airedale and North Bradford Police, said: “This was a nasty offence in which a group of men have targeted, followed and then assaulted a young man who was just minding his own business and making his way home from work.”
Anyone with any information should contact Detective Constable Jason Mohan on (01535) 617083, or Crimestop-pers on 0800 555 111.
