A KNIFE-wielding robber forced a man to hand over his phone and cash during a terrifying attack.
The 21-year-old was walking in an alleyway in Quilters Straight, Basildon, when the attack happened.
He was approached by the thug who asked him for the time before pulling out a knife.
The raider then forced the terrified victim to hand over his £150 mobile phone and £90 in cash before fleeing.
Police probing the robbery are now appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Witnesses to the attack, which happened at 2.20am last Wednesday, can contact Pc Lichfield at the Basildon CID target team on 0300 3334444, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
