Two men stole some cash and an iPhone from a man strolling through South of South.
A 46-year-old drove family members home and parked near 20th and Bainbridge streets at 12:38 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. As he walked home on the 2000 block of Fitzwater Street, he heard footsteps behind him and a man say, “give me your phone and wallet.” He handed over the requested items and then another man punched him in the head knocking him to the ground. After removing about $60 from the wallet, the offender threw it back. The pair fled east on Fitzwater.
The victim had minor knee scrapes, but did not seek medical treatment, Tolliver said.
The first offender was described as black with a light complexion, in his mid 20s, 6-foot-1, with a medium build and scruffy facial hair and wearing a white T-shirt and dark-colored pants. The second was described as black, in his mid 20s, 6 foot, 180 pounds, with light facial hair and wearing dark-colored clothing.
