A WESTBURY man was taken to hospital with a suspected fracture after four men robbed him of a chopping board.

A 35-year-old man was in Bashkir Road, on his way home, at about 1am on Sunday, when a group of men started running towards him and tripped him up.

Police say the men stood in front of him and prevented him from taking an alternative route, before snatching his bag, which contained a chopping board from Wilkinsons.

The victim was taken to Salisbury District Hospital with a suspected fracture to his left hand.

Police are looking for four white men, between the ages of 17 and 20 years old, who were wearing white jackets.
