The 22-year-old victim was threatened with a pen knife and two darts as he walked along Corporation Road in Gillingham in the early hours of Saturday.

The robber threatened to stab him unless he handed over the wallet.

After handing over loose change in his pocket, the victim was still followed by his attacker, who waved darts in his face. He only backed off when a pal of the victim confronted him.

Police are looking for the suspect, who is said to be 6ft 1ins, stocky with short, dark brown hair.

He was wearing a black, short-sleeved t-shirt with a white logo on the front and jeans.

DC Charlotte Underwood said: "Even though the offender only managed to get away with some loose change, this attack left the victim quite shaken.

"We would urge anyone who knows anything about this incident to get in touch with either Kent Police at 101 or Kent Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111."
