A MAN was robbed at knifepoint in a daylight attack in Epsom.
The victim, a man in his 30s, was driving along Ruxley Lane in Epsom at around 4.30pm on Saturday (May 10) when a dark-coloured Ford Focus began following him.
After a short period of time, the driver of the Focus flashed their lights to indicate for the man to pull over.
When he did, the male passenger of the Focus approached and threatened the man with a knife before demanding his watch , money and car keys before escaping in his car in the direction of Gatley Avenue.
The attacker is described as an Asian male, with very short shaved hair, a gold tooth, tattooed arms and of thin build. He was wearing a white t-shirt and grey jogging bottoms and spoke with a London accent using slang.
Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Leigh Wall, said: "We are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding this incident and anyone who can assist with our enquiries is urged to come forward and speak with police.
"This was no doubt a terrifying ordeal for the victim and it is completely unacceptable for someone to be threatened in such a manner.
"Following the incident a thorough search of the area and other enquiries were carried out and the investigation will continue today. We will also be liaising with other local police forces and do all we can to find those responsible."
The driver of the car is described as a black female aged in her late teens or early 20s, of slim build, with black hair. She was wearing dark trousers and a thigh length grey and black checked shirt
