The victim, a man in his teens, was approached by two unknown males at around 7.35pm on Friday night (14/5)

He was ordered to kneel down and was threatened with a screwdriver outside The Point.

One of the offenders then punched the victim twice to the head before they ran away when members of the public tried to intervene.

The victim sustained marks to his face, but didn't need hospital treatment.

Both offenders are described as white males, aged in their mid to late teens.

The offender who threatened the victim and who was in possession of the screwdriver was approximately 5ft 8ins tall and of slim build. He was wearing grey bottoms, a shiny black puffa-style jacket with a grey hooded top underneath, white trainers and a grey woolly hat.

The other offender was wearing a black puffa-style jacket, dark green bottoms with stripes down the sides, white trainers and was also in possession of a black Nike rucksack.
