A cyclist was assaulted near the canal at Hest Bank by two men - one armed with a screwdriver - who then stole his bike.
Police were called at 1.33pm on Wednesday to Hest Bank Lane, Hest Bank to a report of a robbery.
A police spokesperson said the male cyclist, 49, was cycling along the canal towpath when he was approached by two suspects close to Rushley Drive.
They threatened and punched him before taking the bike and heading in the direction of Carnforth.
The wife of the victim posted on Facebook that her husband had been attacked near the canal by two men in their early 20s, who she described as 'one Asian and one white'.
