Police investigating a robbery in which a man was stabbed are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Officers were called to the Hucknall area following reports two people brandishing a machete had robbed someone.
The victim was heading along Farleys Lane towards the cut through to the A611 Hucknall Bypass when he was approached.
As he was about to head down an alleyway, the man was pushed off an e-bike he was riding and threatened by two people.
A struggle then took place, in which the victim – a man in his thirties – sustained slash wounds to his leg and hand.
Neither injury is currently believed to be life-threatening or life-altering.
The man’s electric bike and mobile phone were taken during the incident, which happened around 12.50am today (13 July).
Police have since recovered the stolen bike, although inquiries are still ongoing to track down the people involved.
Detective Sergeant Nathan Bingham, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “It’s important anyone who saw what happened, or was in the area at the time gets in contact with us.
“This must’ve been an incredibly scary ordeal for the victim, who was injured as a result and had a number of his belongings taken.
“We have since managed to recover the stolen e-bike, but are still in the process of trying to track down the people responsible.
“If anyone has any piece of information that could assist our investigation, however small or insignificant it might seem, they should call the police immediately.
“Likewise, we also want to hear from anyone who has any CCTV footage, or dash-cam footage that could potentially assist us.
“Anyone with any information can report it to the police on 101, quoting incident 31 of 13 July 2024, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
