Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was assaulted and robbed at Cardiff early Friday morning.

Police say the 29-year-old was sitting on a bench on Veronica Street outside the Post Office just before 1.00am when he was approached by 3 males.

They spoke briefly to the man before assaulting him and taking his backpack.

The trio then fled in a white Toyota Tarago with green P plates.

The man was taken by ambulance to the John Hunter Hospital where he was treated to a laceration to his forehead.

Detectives are reviewing CCTV and are asking for anyone with dashcam footage to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
