Man pistol-whipped, robbed in front of his Pasadena home


PASADENA >> Two men pistol-whipped and robbed a 61-year-old man as he arrived home in Pasadena late Friday, police said.
The attack unfolded about 7:50 p.m. in the 2000 block of Summit Avenue, Pasadena police Lt. Mark Goodman said.
Two robbers made their move as the victim arrived home and parked his car in his driveway, the lieutenant said.
“The suspects approached the vehicle on either side and pointed handguns at him,” he said.
They then opened the driver side of the door, snatching the victims cell phone, as well as an undisclosed amount of cash that was sitting on the passenger seat, according to the lieutenant.
Both robbers struck the man in the head with their handguns before fleeing in a dark-colored car, Goodman said.
The victim suffered cuts to his head but declined medical treatment, he added.
Police described the robbers as two black men between 19 and 21. One was about 6 feet tall and 150 pounds, while the other was about 5 feet 5 feet 10 inches tall and 140 pounds. Both carried handguns.
