A BYSTANDER was set upon by three men who demanded his wallet in Cranbourne North last week.
The victim was walking south along the footpath adjacent to the South Gippsland Highway, near Courtenay Avenue, when he was attacked by the three men.
The victim sustained minor injuries to his head and hand in the altercation but managed to fight off the attackers.
No property was stolen during the fracas.
The three offenders were wearing hoodies and possibly bandanas.
Anyone with information about the incident, or anyone who believes they can assist with identifying the person involved, is urged to contact Detective Senior Constable Mark Wiederhold at Casey CIU on 9705 3111.
