Thugs yanked a taxi driver's seatbelt around his neck as they tried to rob his takings.
The driver picked up the pair from outside KFC in Penny Street, Lancaster, just before 10.30pm last Monday.
He took them to the Dolly Blue Tavern near Lancaster football ground, where the men then attacked him. They fled the scene with his mobile phone.
They were white and in their early 20s. One was around 5ft 8in tall, skinny, with short dark hair, and wearing a dark top and jeans. The other was around 5ft 9in tall, stocky and wearing a grey and white striped jumper and jeans.
