A RUNCORN man was punched and threatened with a knife as he waited for a train.

The 35-year-old victim was attacked by three youths who stole his mobile phone and £10 in cash.

He had been standing on the Liverpool bound platform at Hartford railway station in Cheshire.

The robbers ran off and drove away in a dark blue car believed to be a Renault.

DC Mark Douglas, of British Transport Police, said: “This appears to have been an unprovoked and random attack on a man who was simply trying to make his way home.”

Two of the attackers were between 18-23, about 5ft 6ins and skinny.

One had short dark hair and wearing a knee length blue or green Parka-style coat, whilst the other was wearing a red T-shirt.

The third was about 25 years old, 5ft 10in and stocky. He was wearing a white T-shirt with a black stripe.

Anyone with any information about the attack contact British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
