Police are appealing for witnesses after a robbery in Birkenshaw Bottoms Park off of Moor Lane on Monday 31 October.
The incident happened between 9.15pm and 9.45pm when the victim was sat on a bench with two friends next to the entrance to the park.
The trio were then approached by five males who were all wearing 'anonymous' (or Guy Fawkes) masks. The victim decided to leave but as he stood up he was attacked. He fell to the floor and the attack continued. His mobile phone - a black Samsung Galaxy S6 with a white and black phone case - was also stolen.
As a result of the incident the victim suffered grazing and bruising.
