Police have released images of three men they want to speak to about a violent robbery in Leicester.
The 19-year-old victim had been waiting for a night bus in Gravel Street, outside St Margaret's Bus Station, when he was mugged.
Police said he had been sitting on a bench outside the bus station at about 3.20am when he was approached by three men.
One of them sat down next to him and asked to borrow his mobile phone.
When he refused, he was threatened and assaulted with kicks and punches before his phone was forcibly taken. The trio then ran off along Sandacre Street.
Racial insults were also reported to have been directed at the victim during the incident.
Detective Constable Jonathan Davies said: "The victim was fortunate to only sustain superficial injuries but has been left understandably shocked by the incident.
"We appeal to anyone who recognises the men in these images to contact us."
The robbery took place in the early hours of Saturday April 20.
The first suspect is described as Asian, aged about 25, 5ft 11in tall, with average build, short black hair and brown eyes.
He was clean shaven and wearing dark coloured clothing.
The description of the other men is similar but for both being slightly talker and one having a "scrawny" face while the other was of muscular build with "mutton chop" sideburns down to his chin.
Anyone with information is asked to call the police on the 101 number.
