A MAN was tasered, beaten with a baseball bat and robbed after stopping his car when a man walked out into the road.

The 18-year-old man was driving a red Ford Fiesta on Creekview Road in South Woodham Ferrers last night at around 11.30pm.

A man walked out into the road and the victim stopped his car.

A second man opened the passenger door and tasered him causing him to fall from the car.

He was then assaulted by both men with a baseball bat.

The men then stole the car and a mobile phone.

The car was found a short time later abandoned.

The victim was taken to hospital with a head injury.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Dc Neil Tremain at Chelmsford CID on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
