The male victim was followed into an alleyway off Retiro Street at around 4:30am on November 19, 2023 where he was attacked and had his Brave camouflage coat stolen.
Detective Sergeant Matt Adshead said: "This was a nasty and unprovoked attack - a distinctive and expensive jacket was taken so a partner or parent must have seen a family member come home from a night out with a coat they didn’t leave with."
