Two men are wanted by police after a violent armed robbery in Beaconsfield last month.

The victim, a man in his 50s who uses a trolley to assist him to walk, was in a carpark on Grosvenor Street at the cross of Lewington Street when the robbery happened just after 10.30pm on September 1.

Two men approached the victim as he was using his mobile phone when one produced a knife and threatened the victim demanding the phone and his money.

Police said the victim then knocked the knife from the alleged offender’s hand and began a physical altercation.
