A 12-YEAR-OLD boy was terrified when a man confronted him in Bruce Park, Frankston, on Tuesday (9 June) and demanded his Giant bike and wallet, which was empty.
The boy was riding home from Frankston High School at 3.50pm when the man stood in his path.
The man’s right hand was concealed in his jacket pocket but police believe he carried a black handled knife.
The man is described as Caucasian, early 20s, tall, skinny and with black facial stubble. He was wearing a black hoodie and denim jeans. He was last seen riding across Bruce Park.
Police later retrieved the bike. Anyone with information should call Detective Senior Constable Ken Howard, of Frankston police, on 9784 5555 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
