Detectives are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward after a man was robbed at knifepoint in Bournemouth.
The victim, a man aged in his 20s, was walking along Stokewood Road some time between 2am and 2.30am today, Thursday 9 May 2019, when he was approached by two men on bicycles.
