Man struck in face with rock, robbed in Rosemead


ROSEMEAD >> Two men and a woman attacked a man with a rock and robbed him along Valley Boulevard late Thursday, officials said.
The crime unfolded about 9 p.m. at Valley Boulevard and Bartlett Avenue, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Deputy Brian Vance said.
The trio of suspects approached the victim and asked for money, according to the deputy. “When he didn’t provide it, one of the males threw a rock at his face.”
Vance said the suspects rifled through the man’s pockets when he fell to the ground. They helped themselves to about $200 before fleeing.
Witnesses at nearby Jim’s burgers called 911.
“(The victim) had a laceration,” Vance said. “He was bleeding, but he refused medical attention.”
He also declined to provide deputies with a description of the suspects, Vance said.
Anyone with information can reach the sheriff’s Temple City Station at 626-285-7171. Tips may also be submitted anonymously to L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
