A MAN was attacked and robbed of his mobile phone in a Keighley town centre street.

The 35-year-old was walking along Devonshire Street when he was approached by a man, who pushed him to the ground.

The victim suffered a slight head injury, which needed hospital treatment.

Police today appealed for anyone with information about the incident, which happened between 9.45pm and 10.15pm on January 5, to come forward.
