Matu­ra po­lice con­firm Ger­man tourist Ti­lo Kruse, 20, did make a re­port about his at­tack yes­ter­day.

He al­so de­clined to seek med­ical at­ten­tion af­ter he was as­sault­ed and robbed while walk­ing from To­co to Matu­ra on Wednes­day evening.

Po­lice say around 2:40pm Kruse was pro­ceed­ing south along the main road near Matu­ra when in the vicin­i­ty of 7mm he ob­served two men alight­ed from a bushy area and ap­proached him .

One of the sus­pects was de­scribed as a tall man of African de­scent with curly hair wear­ing a red jer­sey. The sec­ond was said to be of African de­scent with a corn row hair style wear­ing a white jer­sey.

Po­lice say ac­cord­ing to his re­port the men at­tempt­ed to grab his cell­phone a strug­gle en­sued dur­ing which the cell­phone fell to the ground.

The vic­tim picked up his mo­bile phone and be­gan to run in a norther­ly di­rec­tion and ob­served the sus­pects run­ning off in­to the bush­es.

Kruse stopped a pass­ing ve­hi­cle and was tak­en to the Matu­ra Po­lice Sta­tion where he made a re­port.

PCs Mooti­lal and Fran­cis vis­it­ed the scene, made ob­ser­va­tions and car­ried out a search for the sus­pects How­ev­er they say no use­ful in­for­ma­tion was ob­tained.

There is no CCTV sur­veil­lance sys­tem in the area.

Kruse has been walk­ing to high­light the fact there are more good peo­ple in the coun­try than bad. He has been re­ly­ing sole­ly on the kind­ness of strangers to give him food, mon­ey and a place to spend the night.

“I still con­tin­ue my jour­ney. I still be­lieve most peo­ple in Trinidad are good. There def­i­nite­ly are some crim­i­nals out there and I don’t want those crim­i­nals to ru­in the rep­u­ta­tion of good Trinida­di­ans,” Kruse said in his Tik­Tok video where he re­count­ed the in­ci­dent.

Sgt Hazel of the Matu­ra Po­lice Sta­tion told Guardian Me­dia of­fi­cers have of­fered to give Kruse po­lice pro­tec­tion but he de­clined.
