A pair of men robbed and assaulted two males in East Passyunk Crossing Friday.
The complainants were riding their bikes on the 800 block of Morris Street at 12:40 a.m. when the aforementioned figures, wearing black masks, approached them, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The initial offender pointed a black handgun at the chief complainant and demanded his wallet, striking him with the gun twice.
The blows led the victim to sustain minor scratches to his face and enabled the perpetrator to take only his bike and flee. The second victim received punches to his face from the accomplice but parted with no possessions, Tolliver said.
The victims, who said the attackers headed southbound on Eighth Street, described the first as white, 5-foot-9 and 19 to 25 years old; carrying a black gun; and wearing a black mask, a black baseball cap and a black hoodie; and the second as black, 5-foot-9 and 19 to 25 years old; and wearing a black jacket.
