Robbers with a machete slashed a man while trying to steal his e-bike, police have said.
Nottinghamshire Police said they were called to Farleys Lane near the A611 Hucknall bypass at 00:50 BST.
Officers said the victim, who was in his 30s, suffered slash wounds to his leg and hands after being pushed off his bike during a confrontation with two men in an alley.
His injuries were not life-threatening or life-altering, the force said.
