A MAN was robbed by a gang of three men, one of whom was carrying a baseball bat, as he walked through a Kent park.

The 35-year-old was in Margate's Dane Park when the three men approached him. He was in the Addiscombe Road area of the park when he heard their footsteps behind him.

One of the men told the walker to empty his pockets and hand over cash. The victim gave him £50.

The man brandishing the baseball bat then prodded him in the chest with it and complained about the quantity of cash. All three attackers then ran off towards Cliftonville.

The victim was unhurt.

One man was white, aged 18-20, about 5ft 8in, of medium build, with messy, short dark, brown hair. He wore a white jumper with blue colourings and a scarf.
