A 31-year-old man had a knife held to his throat during a terrifying robbery in Addiscombe last Tuesday morning.
The victim was approached from behind as he walked along a wooded area in Long Lane. The suspect then produced a curved knife and demanded he hand over "everything that he had".
The suspect, who is described as about 20-years-old, white, of proportionate build and about 6ft 2ins tall, ran off when the victim handed over £20 in cash.
