A man was slashed in the head with a machete in a terrifying knifepoint robbery in Failsworth.
The 44-year-old victim was attacked on the canal footpath off Ridgefield Street, near Tesco, at around 6pm on October 20, police said. Thugs demanded he hand over his unique electric bike, which they then stole from him.
He was cut across the head with a 'sharp-style machete', police added, leaving him with a 'significant injury'. As part of an appeal issued today (November 4), officers have released CCTV pictures of two men they want to speak to about the attack.
