A MAN was grabbed by the throat and dragged to the floor by two car-jackers.

The 53-year-old victim suffered a graze to his head and lost a tooth in the attack yesterday at about 4.15pm.

He was walking along Parsonage Road, Radcliffe, when two men suddenly approached him. One robber grabbed him around the throat, pushed him to the floor and demanded his car keys. They stole a Vauxhall Corsa registration KM52 MWP worth £8,000.

The robbers were described as in their early 20s and had skinhead haircuts. Anyone who can help identify them or has seen the car, should call Whitefield CID on 0161 856 8240.
