They rummaged through his pockets and stole his mobile phone, wallet, and cash.
Although not seriously injured, the victim was left shaken.
Police officers are keen to trace a potential witness.
Just before 10.30pm on Wednesday, a man and woman were walking down Victoria Street together.
The woman was wearing calf-length boots and carrying a bag over her right shoulder.
