One of the offenders then tired, unsuccessfully, to make off with an e-scooter which was in the victim's possession at the time, before both men ran off.
They are both described as white males and in their mid-to-late teens. The male seen with the weapon was wearing a black tracksuit and a black top, while the other wore a tight grey tracksuit and black top.
