The victim told Officer Martin all the girls wanted to do was "smoke dope," so he decided to leave. He says a black male then came up behind him and said he had a pistol. The victim says his shorts were pulled down and money taken from his pocket.

That's when he said the suspect hit him in the head with the pistol. He did tell Officer Martin he never saw the pistol he was struck with. The victim added a white female kicked him while he was on the ground.

Detectives are investigating.
