Masked men threaten to shoot robbery victim in Keighley

    A man was robbed and assaulted on a Keighley street, after being threatened with a gun.

    Masked robbers put a gun to the head of the victim and threatened to shoot him if he didn’t hand over his cash and phone.

    The 21-year-old victim was then beaten when he refused to hand over his property to the attackers.

    The incident took place on Mannville Grove, off Oakworth Road.

    The mother of the victim claimed that her diabetic son had been at risk of going into a coma following the assault due to adrenalin from the attack resulting in a dangerous increase in his blood-sugar level.

    Officers said that they have spoken to the victim and enquiries are on-going.
