‘Ninja’ strikes in park mugging

A MAN has been robbed at knife-point in a Dandenong park by a ninja-style assailant for just $30.
The victim was walking through Hemmings Park on the Princes Highway about 10pm when another man approached him while holding a knife in his right hand.
The man was wearing a black hoody, black pants, a black covering over his face, had a solid build, and was described by the victim as looking like a “ninja”.
After the victim handed over $30 to the man when he brandished the knife at his stomach and demanded cash, the thief then ran off towards the Dandenong Pavilion restaurant.
