“When he reached his car and got into it, a brick was then thrown through the driver’s side window. Both males then started to shout at the victim ‘gimme your money’. Both were holding three feet long metal bars.

“The delivery man managed to drive off and no money was taken.

The would-be robbers were aged in their late teens or early 20s and were wearing dark clothing.
