Police want to identify and speak with them as part of an investigation into a robbery attempt in Newport.
Shortly after midnight on Thursday 23 March, a man in his 50s left the Wheatsheaf Pub on Pyle Street and walked up towards St James Street when he encountered two men standing near the junction of the road.
One of the individuals demanded the victim’s phone before he was followed and punched in the face. This occurred between Santander and Pittis estate agents on St James Street.
The victim refused to hand over his phone, and was threatened with violence before being punched again. The attacker was called away by the second man before both ran off towards the High Street.
Officers would like to hear from anyone with information about this incident, or who can help us identify the two people pictured.
