Street robbers savagely beat up a man in Newcastle city centre in broad daylight for the sake of £20.
The victim was on Clayton Street around 5pm on August 9 and was looking for a man to whom he would sometimes give cash. He was approached by a woman and got talking to her and later agreed to buy some cannabis from her.
She left and returned shortly afterwards with Ian Irwin, McRae Fairbairn and another man. They said they knew where the man he was initially looking for was and told him to follow them.
