A MAN had cash, his keys and mobile phone stolen in a ‘knife-point’ robbery in Bridport, police said.

The force said a man was sitting in his car in St Andrews Road at around 10.30pm on August 8, when an unknown man approached him and opened the car door.

The man, who was reportedly in possession of a knife, demanded money from the victim.

A member of the public stepped in to try and intervene, and the man, who was with a woman at the time, then ran away from the scene.
