A man was left with cracked ribs and bruising following an unprovoked attack as he waited for a taxi.
The 28-year-old was in Billingham waiting for a taxi to go to work when he was approached by three men on Marsh House Avenue at about 4.45am on Saturday.
The men asked the victim for the time before going on to push him to the floor and kick and punch him.
They then stole his wallet and mobile phone before making off.
The man was taken to the University Hospital of North Tees where he was treated for his injuries. He was later discharged.
A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said the incident was unprovoked and no arrests have yet been made.
Anyone with information or any witnesses should call the force on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
