According to police reports, the incident happened in the area of Stroud Avenue and North 14th Street sometime Sunday afternoon, from 12 to 5 p.m. An 85-year-old man told police he was leaving a home when three or four men grabbed him, slammed him against a car and took about $3,000 in cash from him.
