A US national working with L&T Infotech, a global IT services and solutions provider, was attacked by three motorcycle borne robbers, in a failed bid to rob him at suburban Powai, the police said today.
"David Parish (51) was jogging at about 6.45 am today at Saki Vihar Road when they tried to snatch his bag," Yadavrao Jadhav, senior inspector at Powai police station told PTI.
