Police investigating an aggravated armed robbery in the state’s north are appealing for public assistance, NSW Police say.
About 3.40pm yesterday (Tuesday 28 August 2018), a 46-year-old man pulled over on a road on East Coraki Road at Coraki, about 24km south of Lismore, when he was approached by two males.
One of the males produced a knife before forcing the man back into the vehicle and driving through Woodburn and south onto the M1.
The two males ordered him to pull into a rest area before repeatedly assaulting and stealing his card.
The two males then fled the area on foot.
The 46-year-old man suffered facial and leg injuries and notified officers from Richmond Police District, who then commenced an investigation.
