A CYCLIST was robbed and verbally abused last Thursday night, while taking an evening cycle through Cassiobury Park.

The 25-year-old man was riding through the park at 8.30pm, when two men approached him.

One grabbed the man's bike and produced a knife, demanding that he hand over his mobile phone.

The man handed over his phone and was sworn at by the same man, before the pair ran off in a direction away from Rickmansworth Road.

The first offender is described as black, aged 16 to 17, about 6ft 1in tall and of skinny build. He had a baby face and his hair was braided in cornrows down to the nape of his neck. He was wearing a white t-shirt with a black zip-up hooded top.

The second offender is described as Asian, also aged 16 to 17, chubby build with short, shaven hair. He was wearing prescription glasses with rectangular black frames, black bottoms and a matching black Nike zip-up jacket with the logo in the top left-hand chest area.
