APPEAL AFTER A MAN IS ROBBED BY THE DRIVER OF A BLUE PEUGEOT IN CADISHEAD

Police were called shortly after 5pm on Sunday 10 June 2018 to reports that a man had been robbed as he walked along Prospect Road in Cadishead.

The victim, a man in his 20s, was crossing the road when a passenger in a blue Peugeot 308 leaned out of the window and shouted over to him.

When he approached the car, the passenger in the Peugeot reached out and grabbed the man’s wallet.

Following a struggle, the driver of the Peugeot reversed over the victim’s foot. He was taken to hospital where he was treated for several injuries.

It is believed that the driver of the Peugeot and the three passengers were white men in their early to mid-twenties.

Police Constable Jessica Verbruggen, from GMP’s Salford borough, said:
