The robbery occurred on Tuesday around 7.30 p.m. in Nottingham’s Gamble Street (24 January 2023).
Four men approached the driver and attempted to steal his moped. The victim was repeatedly punched in the head before one of the attackers pulled out a blade.
One of the men grabbed the victim’s moped and house keys during the struggle.
They were interrupted by a passing car and fled the scene on mopeds or motorbikes in the direction of Alfreton Road.
The victim was left extremely shaken and confused by the incident, and it must have been upsetting for him,” said Detective Sergeant Andy Buxton of Nottinghamshire Police.
