A 21-YEAR-OLD man was punched in the face and robbed of his mobile phone after a night out in Redditch town centre.

The man was walking along West Avenue in Smallwood at about 1.30am on Friday, November 11 when another man approached him at the junction of Orchard Street.

He was punched twice and the man demanded he handed over his wallet. The victim said he didn't have one and the offender punched him again, ordering him to give up his mobile phone, which he did. The robber then ran off towards Mount Pleasant.
