Knife snatch

28043647

A man was stabbed then robbed on a Dickinson Narrows street early Saturday.

The 24-year-old was walking east along the 600 block of Tasker Street when an unknown man walked up to him and said, “give me everything you got” while his lookout remained on the other side of the street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

The two wrestled, during which the offender stabbed the man in his right side with a steak knife before fleeing west on Tasker and north on Sixth Street with his wallet that contained identification and $60, Tolliver said. The accomplice fled toward Seventh Street.

Bleeding, the victim walked to the 1600 block of South Orkney Street, Tolliver said. He was transferred to Jefferson by a private car and later transferred in stable condition to the Hospital of University of Pennsylvania’s Trauma Unit.

The robber was described as light-skinned, early 30s, 5-foot-10 to 6-foot-2 with a scruffy beard and wearing a navy blue jacket and dark blue jeans while his lookout was only described as 6-foot-tall man.
