A forceful individual robbed a man in Passyunk Square two weeks ago.
As the complainant walked eastbound on Morris Street toward Seventh Street at 2:10 a.m. Jan. 9, the unknown figure grabbed him from behind and began to choke him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Knocking him to the ground, he took his backpack and wallet, containing $100 and identification, from his pants pocket. He and a second male, serving as a lookout, fled on foot, running southbound on Seventh Street toward Moore Street.
The uninjured complainant described the offender as Hispanic, 25 to 30 years old and 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-9; having a goatee; and wearing green army fatigues, a black hoody and a black coat; and the second as a black male, 25 to 30 years old and clean-shaven; and wearing black clothes.
