THREE teenage girls beat up a young man in Trowbridge on Saturday, stealing his mobile phone.
The 18-year-old youth was left with a bloody nose and bumps and bruises to his head after the attack by the entrance to Bowyers at 2.10am.
Sgt Martin Scorah of Trowbridge police said: "The youth had walked from Club Blue nightclub across to the location followed by a large group of people led by three females.
"At that location the male was assaulted, punched and kicked to the ground by three females who were all approximately 16 to 17 years old."
The motive for the crime is unknown, but is not thought to be theft, and police are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
While he was on the ground the man's mobile phone fell out of his pocket and was picked up by someone in the crowd.
