THUGS kicked out a man's two front teeth during a violent robbery in Radcliffe.

The 24-year-old man was walking along Duke Street at 2am on Saturday (Jan 11) when he was set upon by at least three men.

He was pushed to the floor and kicked about the head and body before his attackers searched his pockets and made off with a small quantity of cash and jewellery including a gold chain.

Passers-by came to the man's aid and he later received hospital treatment to his injuries including swelling to the face and bruising.

Police investigating the street robbery are now hoping witnesses will come forward with information to identify the attackers.

Anyone who can help can contact Whitefield CID on 0161 856 8248 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
