The Incident
The victim, out on a routine early morning errand, was pumping gas into his Mercedes at the Mapco station. According to the victim’s account, he was approached by a man asking for some gas money and a drink. Obliging, he went inside the station for his good deed.
Upon his return, to his shock and horror, the same man who asked him for assistance pulled out a knife. He demanded all his belongings, not just gas money or an innocent drink. The scene escalated quickly, as the victim attempted to get into his car for safety.

In a surprising twist, yet another man joined in, allying with the crook. Together, the pair began to violently assert their demands in an attempt to rob the petrified victim.
In the ensuing tussle, under the bewildering play of intimidation and power, the duo managed to grab the victim’s wallet and iPhone. Leaving the victim behind, one assailant hopped into the passenger seat while the other commandeered the wheel of the Mercedes. They then rapidly fled the scene.
Law Enforcement Intervenes
