Attempted robbery at bus station

A 23-year-old man had a lucky escape when two men failed to rob him at a bus station in Perth.

Police said the man had been walking towards Wellington Street bus station about 9.15pm on Wednesday, December 2 when he was confronted by two men trying to block his path.

While the man initially avoided the men he was subsequently threatened and told to hand over his wallet.

He only escaped when he pretended a police officer had been standing nearby, prompting his attackers to flee.

The men wanted for questioning are described as 18 to 24 years old, about 172 to 178cm tall and of medium build. One of the men had straight brown hair while the other had straight black hair.
