A 57-year-old has been left with a suspected fractured wrist after a mugging in Esher.
The man was walking in an alleyway off More Lane about 5pm on Friday when two men approached him and demand his money and mobile phone.
When the 57-year-old refused, the pair pulled the man to the ground and held him there by his wrist.
The would-be robbers ran off when they were disturbed by two passersby.
Detective Constable Gary Gilbert said the man suffered a suspected fractured wrist and deep grazing to his face.
He appealed to the two passersby to come forward and help police with their investigation.
The first attacker is described as a white man wearing a black hoodie and dark trousers.
The second suspect is described as a black man in his early twenties wearing a white hoodie.
Anyone with information should call D Con Gilbert at Epsom CID on 0845 125 2222.
