PASADENA – A man reported being followed from a Pasadena gas station and robbed at knifepoint Thursday afternoon, police said.
The incident took place between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m., though it wasn’t reported to police until shortly before 5 p.m., Pasadena police Lt. Jason Clawson said.
The man left a gas station at Lake Avenue and Maple Street, and believed he was being followed by a silver or gray Nissan, the lieutenant said. A further description of the vehicle was not available.
“At Mentor (Avenue) and Green (Street), the Nissan stopped. Two men exited and pulled a knife on him,” Clawson said. The robbers demanded the victim’s money, and he turned over and undisclosed amount of cash before the robbers fled.
Clawson said the robbers were last seen heading south on Mentor Avenue .
One was described as a Latino man in his early-30s, about 5 feet 8 inches tall with a goatee. The other robber was white, in his late-20s or early-30s and wore a blue or gray work shirt.
