A man was assaulted and robbed of his belongings, including his Rolex, after exiting the subway early Friday.
The 39-year-old exited the train at the Ellsworth-Federal station of the Broad Street Line at 12:15 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. As he proceeded up the stairs, two men followed him and another male stared at him from the top of the stairs of the Federal Street exit.
When he reached the street, the man punched him multiple times and sliced him with a box cutter on his left hand, neck and face, Tolliver said. The duo that was following him stood as lookouts and then snatched his wallet, which contained identification and $138, and his Rolex watch that is valued at $4,500. The trio fled east on Federal Street.
A passerby transported him to Methodist Hospital.
The attacker was described as black and age 18 to 20; having a beard; and wearing a black hoody and black jeans while his accomplices were described as black, age 18 to 25 and wearing gray hoodies and black jeans.
