A MAN was attacked and robbed by a gang of three as he walked home in Southampton.

The 21-year-old was walking along Handel Road when the group approached him.

They demanded he hand over his wallet before pushing him to the ground and pinning him down to take his HTC phone and wallet, which had £30 inside.

Hampshire police are appealing for witnesses to the incident on Saturday, January 10, between 1.30am and 2am.

Two of the men are described as Asian, with one about 5ft 6in tall, light build and about 20 years old, and the second around the same age but shorter and a bigger build.

The third man is described as Eastern European and between 18 and 20 years old.

The group ran away with cash, a bank card and a rail card.

Anyone with information about the robbery can contact DC Louise Daniels at Southampton CID on 101.
