Swindon Police are appealing for witnesses following a robbery in Swindon on Tuesday evening - 17 September.
Between 7.40pm and 8.10pm, on the corner of County Road and the Magic Roundabout, unknown suspects chased the victim, a 17-year-old boy, after asking for his bicycle.
When the victim did not comply, one of the suspects punched him in the face before taking his bike.
The three suspects are described as white males. One was wearing a long sleeved light jacket, the second male wore an all grey tracksuit and the third was wearing shorts, a backpack and a dark coloured top.
Two of the males were on pushbikes, with the third male cycling off on the victim’s bike.
Inspector Kennedy, based in Swindon, said: “This is a serious incident where a teenager has been assaulted and had his bike stolen.
“The incident has happened on a busy road in full public view, and CCTV footage shows members of the public and cars going by as it happened.
“We are particularly keen to speak to a witness who was walking along as the victim was trying to get away from the suspects.
“They are described as male, wearing a dark coloured top and carrying a shopping bag.
“If you can help, please get in touch on 101 quoting reference 54240110064.”
