Nanaimo RCMP are trying to find a pair of robbery suspects.
Police say the men attacked and robbed a 34 year old after he refused to give them a cigarette.
It happened just after midnight on July 6th in the underpass at the intersection of Morden Road and Highway 1, not far from the Ruckledge Store.
The victim was punched and kneed several times and suffered two black eyes, a swollen nose and a concussion.
Constable Gary O’Brien says the area is well traveled, so it’s likely somebody saw something that could help investigators.
O’Brien says RCMP believe the suspects probably live in the area.
