Police are appealing for public assistance, after an aggravated armed robbery in the state’s north.
Around 3.40pm yesterday, a 46-year-old man pulled over on East Coraki Road, Coraki, about 24km south of Lismore, when he was approached by two males.
One of the men produced a knife before forcing the man back into the vehicle, driving through Woodburn and south onto the M1.
The two men ordered him to pull into a rest area before repeatedly assaulting him and stealing his card.
They then fled the scene on foot.
The 46-year-old suffered facial and leg injuries.
Police wish to speak to two men who may be able to help with their inquiries.
Both are described as being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander appearance, aged between 18-20 and with solid builds.
One was last seen wearing a fake leather jacket, dark coloured jeans, gloves and joggers, while the other was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, blue denim jeans and boots.
Anyone who may have information or dash cam vision, in particular between 3.30-5pm north and southbound on the M1 at Woodburn or Wyrallah Road, is urged to come forward.
