A robber placed a man in headlock in order to take his belongings in Point Breeze Saturday.
At 7:15 p.m., a 60-year-old man was strolling eastbound on the 2000 block of Mountain Street when the perpetrator jumped him from behind, placed him in a headlock and went through his pockets, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. During the struggle, the victim elbowed his attacker in the forehead, resulting in his fleeing eastbound on Mountain. The offender stole $12, a pack of cigarettes and ID.
The victim was unharmed, Tolliver said.
The robber was described as black with a medium complexion, age 20 to 25, 230 pounds and wearing a dark-colored jacket with a stripe on it and dark-colored jeans.
