Teen attacked, robbed in South Pasadena

SOUTH PASADENA — Police are seeking two masked men who attacked and robbed a teenager late Thursday, officials said.
An 18-year-old South Pasadena man was walking about 8 p.m. in the 500 block of Magnolia Street when he noticed a masked man in front of him and changed direction to avoid the suspicious person, South Pasadena police Detective Richard Lee said.
But the masked attacker ran up to the victim and began hitting him, Lee said. A second masked man approached, pointed a handgun at the victim and demanded his money.
The victim turned over about $20 and his cell phone, Sgt. Tony Abdalla said. But the picky robbers took only the cash and fled, leaving the cell phone behind.
Abdalla said the robbery victim declined to be taken to a hospital.
Police described one robber as male, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and 165 pounds. He wore an orange raincoat-style jacket with a dark hood, dark colored pants and a fabric mask over his face.
The second robber as about 5 feet 6 inches tall and 190 pounds. He wore all dark clothing with a hood over his head and a fabric mask over his face, and he carried a black, semi-automatic handgun.
