Man, 66, thrown onto pavement in street robbery

A 66-year-old man was thrown onto the pavement and robbed by a pair of “cowardly” thieves.

The attack happened shortly before 3pm on Friday in the south side of Glasgow.

The victim was walking along Myrtle Path when he was approached by two men who stole his mobile phone.

Detective Sergeant Graham Mccreadie said: “To target an innocent man in this way is absolutely despicable and it is vital that we trace the cowardly individuals responsible.”

Both men were around 5ft 8in tall with slim builds.
