Attempted Armed Robbery Monday night? (Updated)
From the Police Blotter:
August 11, 2008 Precita Ave. & Harrison St. Attempted Armed Robbery: Gun
It sounds like there is far more story to this "event" than is being posted in the police blotter. Anyone know more about what's going on here? It's also unclear of which side of the park this was on. If you noticed a group of four men loitering around the park, can you describe them? Please post a comment if you can.
August 11, 2008 Precita Ave. & Harrison St. Attempted Armed Robbery: Gun
A 21 year old Oakland man found himself surrounded by four men as he walked to his car [update: which was parked just west of the Leonard Flynn School on the north side of Precita -in the dark area under the trees]. One of the men demanded his cell phone and the man refused to surrender it. The victim was knocked to the ground and struck over the head with a handgun. The four fled without taking anything from the victim. The victim heard a shot fired as the perpetrators ran away.
