Noticing that they were about to get robbed, Ncube and his friends ran away from Amphitheatre to Robert Mugabe Way between Leopold Takawira Street and 8th Avenue.
Along Robert Mugabe Way the complainant tripped to the ground while his friends proceeded to escape.
Moyo and his colleagues surrounded Ncube who was lying helpless on the ground and further demanded his possessions.
