The victim pulled over on the Eastburn Road layby on the Crown Range Road about 10.30pm on Friday -- to help a man who appeared to have car trouble.
He was then assaulted and the offender took off with his backpack.
Detective Sergeant Derek Shaw says it's a terrible thing to happen to someone trying to help a stranger and it's worrying for the local community.
Anyone who saw or knows anything is asked to call police on 105.
