A man was viciously attacked with a stick as he walked home.
Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward following the attempted robbery as the victim walked home from work in Clitheroe on Tuesday.
The incident took place around 8.15pm as the 34-year-old victim was working along Farraday Avenue when he was approached by three young men.
One of the men demanded that he hand over his phone, money and cards. The victim refused and one of the men has then proceeded to hit him with a pole or stick.
The victim shouted for help and all three men then ran away empty handed.
