The following came from a friend of mine. They received it from the Italian Village Block Watch:

Sunday (4.3.11) around 9PM, two of my friends, a man and woman, were walking to the Goodale Park area from the CBJ game & dinner. They were walking north on Park Street when a hard-topped Mustang convertible (dark silver or grayish) pulled up to them on W. Millay (an alley) & Park St.

A caucasian man, (mid 20's, 5'8 or 6' tall, with brown hair and noticeable facial tattoos, wearing a white wife-beater and jeans) asked for directions.

The caucasian female, (mid 20's, 5'4, brown hair in a high ponytail) used this opportunity to get out of the Mustang and started jumping the woman, grabbing her by the neck and demanding her purse. Then the man got out of the car and held a "knife/gun object" inside his pant pocket. They demanded money and physically tried to obtain the woman's purse. They victims fought them off and threw all the money they had on the ground then called then ran and called the cops. The muggers drove off quickly.

The cops said the man sounded like a description of someone they have been looking for, but they couldn't track them down yesterday.

Just wanted everyone to be aware and on the lookout as they need to be caught! Plus, Park Street on a Sunday seems like a safe place to walk, especially as a couple.
