Pickpocket knockout

28043647

A man was robbed while unconscious in South of South early Monday.

The 33-year-old was strolling along the 1400 block of Carpenter Street when a man walked toward him and said, “give me what’s in your pockets,” Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The man declined to oblige, so the offender punched him in the face, and the victim lost consciousness. When he awoke, his iPhone was gone.

The injured man went to HUP for treatment of his injuries that included lacerations to his forehead, a broken nose and concussion.

The suspect was described as black, 5-foot-10, thin and wearing a black button-down shirt and dark-colored pants.
