Police are investigating after a violent robbery incident that occurred at Kangaroo Point yesterday evening, Queensland Police say.
At about 8.40pm, three men attended Pearson Street in response to an advertisement on an online classifieds site for the sale of a mobile phone.
The men were met by four males and after an exchange of money, the men were assaulted by the males who were armed with sticks.
One of the male offenders then threatened one of the men with a knife and demanded additional money which the man complied with.
The three men then ran to a taxi and locked themselves inside whilst the male offenders commenced damaging the taxi with the sticks.
The male offenders then fled the scene with a sum of cash.
Two of the assaulted men received cuts and abrasions to their face and arms.
Investigations are continuing.
