MUGGERS punched a young man in the face and stole his iPod and wallet.
The 22-year-old from Reading was walking along Palmerstone Road, Earley, listening to music when three men came up behind him.
One of the men, described as being white, 5ft 11ins - 6ft tall, clean shaven, aged 20-25 and wearing a white T-shirt, punched him in the face, cutting his top lip, which needed stitches. There are no descriptions of the other men.
