A TEENAGER was thrown to the floor by robbers who threatened him with a knife before stealing £49 in cash from his pockets.

The two robbers approached the 18-year-old and hit him, pushing him to the floor before rifling through his pockets.

The robbery happened last Friday between midnight and 1am on Amersham Hill, High Wycombe, when the teenager was approached by the thugs.

Kate Spark, spokesman for High Wycombe Police, said: "This is obviously a distressing attack for the person involved.

"If anyone witnessed the incident or has any information we would urge them to call the police."

One of the offenders is described as white, of medium build, around 17 to 18-years-old, 5ft 10 in to 6ft tall with a shaved head and was wearing a tracksuit at the time of the attack.

A second offender is described as black, 17 to 18-years-old, of medium build, approximately 5ft 5in tall, with plaited hair to his ears.

He has a distinctive scar on his right cheek which is about an inch-and-a-half long and was wearing a black leather jacket, black jeans and a pair of trainers.
