Police are on the hunt for three young people in relation to a vicious attack on Nancy Street on Tuesday, July 25.
A group of young people - one of which police claim was armed with a knife - are accused of approaching four men at about 11:25am, and demanding one of them take off their shoes.
It's alleged one of the men - a 19-year-old - tried to run away but tripped and fell to the ground.
Police believe three young people kicked and punched the man, and stole his jumper, shoes, and cash before fleeing the scene on foot.
