Pair assaults man, attempts to steal phone

Two men are being sought after a Wednesday robbery in which, police say, they punched a man and attempted to flee with his phone.

A Little Rock Police Department report states two unidentified black men approached the victim outside the Family Dollar at 4514 W. 12th St., and one asked to use his cell phone.

The victim agreed, and while the first man pretended to use his phone, the second man circled the victim before he punched him in the face, the report states. The two men then fled on foot with the victim’s iPhone and a pair of headphones, according to the report. The victim told police he chased the pair for a few blocks then stopped when he realized the robbers had dropped his belongings.

The report states one robber wore a white T-shirt and blue jeans and the other wore a camouflage shirt and blue jeans during the attack.
