Charity worker attacked by two men during attempted robbery in Derbyshire town

The victim, a man in his 30s, was approached by two men while carrying out fundraising work in Lynden Avenue, Long Eaton.

Just before 2.00pm on November 17, the pair tried to grab the charity bag he was carrying and punched him several times – leaving him with injuries to his face.

The first man was described as being in his mid-20s. He was wearing all black clothing with his hood up and a black mask covering half of his face.

The second man was also believed to be in his mid-20s. He was white, wore all grey clothing, had a small goatee moustache and was riding a black and blue BMX bike.

Officers are keen to speak to anyone who may be able to help identify the two men – in particular anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage that may have captured them.
