POLICE have launched an investigation following an armed robbery where a man was injured after being held at knife point.
A 47-year-old man was walking along Icknield Way towards Smannell Road between 4.10am and 4.30am on Friday, October 14 when another man approached him from behind.
He produced a knife and demanded money, but the victim fought him off and the attacker ran off towards Turin Court.
Officers say nothing was stolen but the victim received a cut to his finger which was treated at Andover War Memorial Hospital.
Police are now appealing for witnesses and are looking to trace a silver Ford Focus that was seen at the time.
The attacker has been described as a 5ft 10in black man in his 20s or 30s of a slim build with a goatee and wearing a grey hoodie with the hood pulled tight over his head and face, and grey jogging bottoms.
Anyone with information should contact PC Nick Moss from Basingstoke CID on 101, quoting crime reference number 44160387963.
Alternatively people can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, where information can be left anonymously.
