The group of four to six men then threatened the man and demanded money. One of them men has hit the 59-year-old man with a hammer and a second man has punched him.
The men have taken the wallet of the man and then left the scene on foot.

A short time later a 67-year-old man who lives at an adjacent property on Hillcrest Road was approached by a group of three men.
