An assailant wielded an 8-inch long knife while robbing his longtime friend of money and his cellphone in North Little Rock, the victim told police.
The 39-year-old Jacksonville man said that he was talking with the friend on the sidewalk of a business in the 200 block of East Washington Avenue about 9:15 a.m. Tuesday when his demeanor suddenly changed.
The assailant then demanded that the victim hand over items in his possession, according to a North Little Rock Police Department report.
When the 39-year-old refused, he told police, the robber “took an aggressive stance” and reportedly said he would “kick his a**.”
Officers noted that the friend pulled a fixed-blade knife and held it at the victim, took about $380 in cash and a Cricket cellphone and fled the scene.
No injuries were reported during the robbery, and no arrests had been made at the time of the report.
