A KNIFE-WIELDING thug with a "scabby nose" threatened a man before robbing him in Derby city centre.
At about 10.10pm on Monday, a 21-year-old man was walking home along the footbridge near the Jury's Inn hotel when he saw three men walking towards him.
Police say two of them walked passed him but the third approached him and threatened him with a small kitchen knife.
The man handed over his phone and the offender and his friends made off into the city centre.
The offender is described as being in his late teens or early twenties, of skinny build and about 5' 8" tall.
Officers say he had very short or shaven fair hair and had dry scabby skin below his nose.
He wore a fluorescent green or yellow top and a dark baseball cap on backwards.
