Police: Teen hit on head, robbed of convertible at Little Rock gas station

A 17-year-old told authorities he was at a Little Rock gas station with his father’s white Ford Mustang on Saturday night when someone hit him in the back of the head and drove off in the convertible, according to a police report.

The teen said he drove some people home from a party before stopping at a gas station near Roosevelt Road and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive around 11 p.m. A robber approached him there, hit him and left in the car, a Little Rock Police Department report states.

An 18-year-old with the teen during the robbery said he saw two black males wearing red hoodies “but didn’t really see anything either,” according to the report. After the robbery, the two walked to another gas station, got an Uber, then returned to the site of the party, police said.

The 17-year-old’s father told authorities his son’s iPhone was in the stolen car, the report states.

Police said the victim had a “contusion on the back of his head” but that he refused medical attention. Authorities said the two “were not cooperative.”

No suspects were named, and no arrests had been made at the time of the report.
