Police have released CCTV images of two men they want identify following a violent street robbery in Leeds city centre.
The 42-year-old victim was walking along Sovereign Street at about 3am on Saturday, October 1, when he was approached by a man who grabbed him by the wrist. Another man then ran up from behind and pushed him to the floor causing grazing and bruising to his face.
As they tried to get his watch from his wrist, the first suspect bit the victim on the finger.
The watch, a silver Omega Seamaster with a black face, was eventually removed and the men ran off with it.
PC Mick Parker, of Leeds District Crime Team, said: "This was a very distressing experience for the victim to be attacked and robbed in his way and we need to identify the men involved. The suspects are quite distinctive on the CCTV images shown and we would like to hear from anyone who recognises them or who saw them in the area.
"The watch they stole is also a distinctive item and we would like to hear from anyone who has been offered such a watch for sale since the robbery."
"We are also keen to trace some passers-by who went to the victims aid and chased the suspects. We would like to speak to those people as witnesses."
