DETECTIVES are hunting two would-be-robbers after they demanded a man hand over his MP3 player.

The victim, a 30-year-old man, was jogging along the disused railway track in Wickham.

He took a diversion through a wooded area between the line and the River Meon. Two men then blocked the path and one of the men demanded he hand over his MP3 player.
