A Good Samaritan came to the rescue of a partially sighted man who was threatened and robbed on a Timperley street.
The victim was walking along Stockport Road on Tuesday when he was approached by a man who asked him for a cigarette.
The offender then began to argue with the victim, threatening him with a bottle of beer before rifling through his bag and stealing a pair of sunglasses.
Police added that a woman who had witnessed the incident while driving her car turned back to help the victim and drive him home.
They describe the offender as a slim, black male with short trimmed facial hair and short thin dreadlocks to the shoulder.
He was wearing a black ‘bucket hat’ with grey lining, a lightweight black bomber jacket, three-quarter length cargo shorts and a black t-shirt with an orange/white logo on the chest.
The offender was with a second male, described as white and wearing shorts, although he did not have any involvement in the incident and walked off.
Anyone with any information should ring 101 or anonymously on Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
