A man in his 50s has suffered a fractured arm following an attempted robbery in Bristol.
Police say the incident happened at about 07:30-07:45 on Saturday (March 18) when two unknown men threatened the victim in the Callington Road underpass, just off the A4174.
It's reported one of the unknown men was carrying a black pole, similar to a broom handle - which the victim was hit with.
He was then forced to the floor before they tried to take his e-scooter.
The two men then ran off.
A spokesperson from Avon and Somerset Police said: "They are both described as white males and in their mid-to-late teens.
"The male seen with the weapon was wearing a black tracksuit and a black top, while the other wore a tight grey tracksuit and black top.
"The victim – who is a man in his 50s – required hospital treatment for a fractured arm. He has since been discharged."
