A man has been injured during a robbery as he made his way to work in Co Antrim.

The victim suffered his injury after two men tried to grab a backpack at Dunclug Park pathway, in Ballymena, at around 6.50am on Monday.

Police say the man suffered a laceration to his arm during a struggle and was treated in hospital.

One of the suspects is described as around 5ft, black coloured hair, wearing dark coloured jacket and dark coloured trousers.

The second is described as wearing a green coloured coat and dark coloured trousers.

Both are understood to have come from the direction of the Cushendall Road area before entering Dunclug Park pathway.

A spokesman for the PSNI said: “This is obviously been a distressing ordeal for the victim who had been making his way to the bus stop to be collected for work."
