The "frightening" incident took place around 8.45am on Wednesday morning when the man was walking through the underpass near Burghead Drive.

The 54-year-old man was approached by two men wearing dark-coloured clothing, who threatened him with a knife and demanded money. They made off with the victim’s wallet containing a two-figure sum of cash.
