He responded and the man then asked to see his watch.

A second man then grabbed him around the neck, demanding that he hand over his bag. 

He was stuck twice on the hand with a metal pole, in an attempt to make him drop his belongings.

A third man was with the other two, but did not participate in any violence. 

The victim began to struggle and managed to get out of the offender's grasp, before running to a nearby house.

As he reached the door he was struck on the head by the metal pole, the three suspects then fled.

The victim required stitches to a head injury and had a swollen and bruised hand.
