A man with learning difficulties was brutally robbed at knifepoint by two teenagers in Westwood.

The 27-year-old victim got off a Metrolink tram on the afternoon of June 1 and ran off when two men shouted and walked over.

Minutes later the same two threatened him with a knife in Manchester Street and demanded property - at which the victim handed over his phone and wallet before being punched and kicked. The robbers ran off towards Manchester Street.

Police wish to speak to both of them, or anyone who witnessed the incident.
