Having just finished his shift at Narellan town centre, the 38 year old man was walking home along Camden Valley Way just after 11pm on Saturday night.

He was confronted by a younger man, who asked for the time, before producing a knife.

The victim, having been threatened, handed over his mobile phone to the man with the knife, who grabbed it and took off on foot.
