Muggers hunted

A 51-YEAR-OLD man was attacked from behind in Coldhurst early yesterday.

He had just passed two men in Anvil Way, near Sedgemoor Way, when he felt a blow to the back of the head and fell to the floor before being punched and kicked.

The attackers ran off empty-handed towards Henshaw Street. Both men were white, in their early 20s and wore hooded tops.
