We would like to speak with him in connection with a robbery in Portsmouth.

 

The incident happened on Powerscourt Road at approximately 3.30pm on Monday 7 August.

 

The victim, a 46-year-old man, was walking down Powerscourt Road when he was approached by three men who assaulted him and took his bag, which was later recovered further up the road.

 

A member of the public disturbed the men and they ran away.

 

The victim sustained minor injuries to his face and wrist.

 

Officers have conducted a number of enquiries and are now turning to the public for help.
