A Springvale resident has sustained grazes to his legs, wrists and knees after being thrown to the ground in a violent robbery.
On Saturday 29 February at 2am, the 30-year-old was walking home from work down Whitworth Avenue in Springvale when he was approached by three males of Asian appearance.
The offenders demanded the man hand over his phone before throwing him to the ground.
They then demanded the pin code to access his phone, which the victim gave, before they ran towards Springvale Road.
The offenders were all wearing dark clothes at the time.
