A KNIFE-WIELDING mugger attacked a man on a quiet footpath in Winchester city centre.

The 20-year-old victim was walking along a path in Hyde when he saw a man with his back turned.

As he walked past, he saw the man was holding a 2in short-bladed knife.

The mugger threatened him and the victim surrendered his wallet containing £60 and his Nokia mobile phone.

The attack happened on the ‘zig-zag’ path between Marston Gate and Hyde Abbey Road on Monday at about 11.30am.

The mugger is described as white, aged about 25, 6ft 2in and wearing a brown knee-length waterproof hooded jacket with a fur lining around the hood, and black trainers.

Anyone with information should contact Winchester CID on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

People outside Hampshire should call 0845 045 4545.
