Man robbed at knifepoint in Hadley
Police officers are investigating after a man was robbed at knifepoint whilst walking in Telford on Thursday.
The 22-year-old man was walking along Haybridge Avenue between 5.15pm and 5.30pm, when he was approached by an unknown man who then engaged him in conversation.
Without warning the man pulled out a knife, threatened the victim and asked him to hand over his belongings.
The victim quickly decided to hand over his mobile phone – a Blackberry 8250 – and around £15 in cash and the offender then made off with these items along Haybridge Avenue.
