Police appeal after charity worker assaulted during attempted robbery

Officers are appealing for the public’s help after a charity worker was assaulted during an attempted robbery in Long Eaton. The victim, a man in his 30s, was approached by two men while carrying out fundraising work in Lynden Avenue, just before 2pm on November 17.

The pair tried to grab the charity bag he was carrying and punched him several times leaving him with injuries to his face. Police have offered a description of the two men.

One man appeared to be in his mid 20s, dressed in all black clothing with his hood up and a black mask covering half of his face. The second man also seemed to be in his mid 20s wearing all grey clothing, white, with a small goatee moustache, and riding a black and blue BMX bike.

Part of a Facebook post issued by Long Eaton Police read: "Officers are keen to speak to anyone who may be able to help identify the two men, in particular anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage that may have captured the two men. Anyone with who can help with our enquiries is asked to contact Derbyshire police using any of the below methods, including reference 22*673477"
