A MAN was robbed of cash on a Grimsby railway bridge by two men carrying a blade.
The incident happened at 4.15pm on Thursday, and Humberside Police have today released an appeal for witnesses.
A force spokesman said: "The 31-year-old man was walking away from Railway Street and was on the stair well on the bridge when the two men are alleged to have spoken to the man and then taken a quantity of cash.
"The offenders were reportedly in possession of a bladed article, however the 31-year-old did not receive any serious injuries in the incident.
"After cash was taken from the victim, the alleged offenders ran off over the bridge in the direction of the supermarket, whilst the victim ran back down the stairs, towards Railway Street.
"One of the offenders is described as a white male, who spoke with what was believed to have been a Polish or Russian accent.
"He was of a stocky build, 5ft and 7ins tall and aged in his mid to late 30s.
"His hair was covered by a white baseball cap with a blue NY appliqué.
"He had a tattoo of a teardrop in the corner of his left eye and was clean shaven.
"He was wearing a waist length black leather jacket zipped up to his chin and blue jeans.
"The other offender is described as a white male, of a slim build and about 6ft tall.
"He was aged in his 40s and wearing a dirty, dark green anorak with a blue stripe across the middle."
Anyone with information should contact Humberside Police on 101, quoting log 513 of Thursday.
