A 62-year-old St James man was beat­en by ban­dits who tried to steal his car out­side his home on Sun­day night. 

Po­lice said the man parked his car out­side his Ma­resse Smith Street, home around 10.20 pm, when he was con­front­ed by two ban­dits, one of whom had a knife.

The ban­dits or­dered the man to "pass the keys." The man re­fused and was beat­en. 

The ban­dits even­tu­al­ly aban­doned the rob­bery and ran away with­out any valu­ables.

St James po­lice were called in and searched for the ban­dits, but did not find them.
