The group then assaulted the man, striking him with the broken bottle across his chest and shoulders before fleeing. The man was treated at the scene for minor injuries by paramedics. Nothing was stolen during the incident.
Det Con Mark Cockerham said: "This was a violent and unprovoked attack and we need to find those responsible."
