along Glebe Road, Pembroke, and stole money from him.

The victim, who has not been named, said he believed the mob used a concrete block at some point during the attack.

The man was driving along the road at 12 a.m. on Saturday when a woman flagged him down to demand some cash that was owed to her.

The crowd surrounded the car as she searched it and took "significantly more'' cash than she was owed.

The victim said the woman and others in the gang began assaulting him, at one point using a concrete block.

He drove himself to the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital where he was treated for contusions and bruising to his face, and a lacerated lip.
