A man was standing on a corner when he was punched and robbed by two unknown men Saturday.
A 29-year-old and his 30-year-old friend were standing at Seventh and Tasker streets at 10:45 p.m. when they were approached by two men — one of which pointed a silver automatic handgun at the younger man and demanded he hand over all his money, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.
When the victim did not comply, the gunman punched him in the face, so he handed over his wallet, which contained $5 and identification, and a silver iPod, Tolliver said. The two men fled east on Tasker and north on Seventh Street.
The man had a busted lip, but refused medical treatment, Tolliver said.
The armed man was described as Hispanic, 5-foot-6 with a medium build and black hair. He was wearing blue jean shorts, a white T-shirt and a blue baseball cap.
His accomplice was described as black, 5-foot-9, thin and wearing a red T-shirt.
