A man has had his keys, mobile phone, and jacket stolen after he suffered 'serious, but non-life-threatening' injuries in an assault in Haywards Heath, Sussex Police has reported.

Police said the victim was walking along Perrymount Road at about 1.15am on Sunday, December 4, when he was approached by at least four other men, where it is alleged they demanded he hand over various items, including his phone and wallet.

After refusing to do so, he was assaulted and suffered serious, but non-life-threatening injuries which required hospital treatment, Sussex Police added. Police said the group then made off from the scene with the victim’s keys, glasses, mobile phone, and jacket.
