A 18-YEAR-OLD man was assaulted by two men who tried to steal his watch and mobile phone.

He was at the junction of Hightown Road and Oxford Road at 12.50am on Sunday when the attack happened.

The man struggled and the two men ran off. They may have got into a small blue hatchback to leave the scene.

They are described as white and both were wearing dark-coloured hooded tops with the hoods up, tied tightly around their faces.
