A 68-YEAR-OLD man was punched from behind after returning to his car in Bay St, Mordialloc, after taking his dog to the beach, 5.45pm, Saturday 4 June.
He told Mordialloc police his attacker, of African appearance, 183cm tall, sold build with an Australian accent, then demanded his car keys.
The man tried to defend himself but was struck three or four times by a second man of African appearance who also demanded his keys.
The man fell to the ground and the offenders rummaged through his car’s glove box before jumping into a third man’s car – who police said was acting as look-out – and driving off south along Beach Rd.
The victim was taken to Sandringham hospital with a suspected broken nose.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
