A Corby food delivery driver was helped by members of the public when he was attacked as he got out of his car in Surfleet Close.

The incident took place on Tuesday, November 28, between 6.30pm and 7pm, when the man parked up to get out of his car and another vehicle blocked him in.

“The offender told the man to wait while another man arrived on a motorbike, who attempted to pull the victim from his car demanding that he handed over his money, which he alleged he had stolen.

“When the victim attempted to call the police, the offender took his phone and smashed it on the ground. As he tried to retrieve it, he was pushed back in his car.”
