Detectives are appealing for help from anyone who may have seen the incident which happened at around 9.15pm last night (Tues 23 Oct) outside Tesco Express in Birmingham Road.
The 39-year old man was walking back to his vehicle when he was threatened by two men who police believe had been hiding in the garden of a nearby house.
