Nose broken during robbery

A Garfield man suffered a broken nose during a robbery along Thomas Street, Dandenong.
The 20-year-old was walking, about 7pm Thursday 28 April, when three men, described as aged 16 to 18 years and of Maori appearance, approached and punched him in the face.
Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Bree Jarvis said the victim also suffered swelling to his right eye and cuts and bruises.
His attackers stole his black and red bumbag, she said.
A person in a car stopped to check on the victim after the assault and drove him to Dandenong Hospital.
Det Sen Const Jarvis urged the Good Samaritan and any witnesses to the assault to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
