The victim suffered an injury to his wrist during the robbery for which he required treatment at hospital.

Describing the two suspects, Avon and Somerset Police said: "One suspect is described as mixed race, of large build, wearing glasses, a blue coat, and a face covering.

"The second was white, with a bushy beard, wearing a grey Nike tracksuit, red gloves and he had a bag with him. Both are described as being in their mid to late teens."

Police have said if you saw any part of this incident, or who know the identity of either of the offenders to call 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5222158653.
