A man told police that he and a friend were robbed at gunpoint while in the parking deck of Little Rock’s Park Plaza over the weekend.

The robbery happened around 5 p.m. Sunday as the victims were sitting in a vehicle parked underground at the mall at 6000 W. Markham St., according to a Little Rock Police Department report.

Police say two young black robbers "pulled guns on them and put the barrel to their heads" in a demand for money.

After the money was handed over, one assailant struck one of the victims on the left side of his head and told him to give over everything in his possession.
