A 30-something-year-old man was walking near Melvin Avenue and Woodward Avenue in Hamilton's east end when three men assaulted him and stole his wallet, police said.

The mugging happened around 12:30 a.m. Thursday.

The man told police he was walking by himself when a dark SUV approached him and stopped. Three men he didn't know got out of the SUV and told him to hand over his wallet, police said.

The men seemed to be leaving with his wallet, but came back and punched him in the head before leaving, police said.

The man was not seriously injured.

Police are looking for three men, two of them in their 20s. Police ask anyone with information to contact them or Crime Stoppers.
