Cape Story Resident Attacked On Bike Path – 1/21/11

Posted on January 22, 2011 by Todd Solomon

The following notice was received from the Cape Story by the Sea Neighborhood Watch coordinator:

On Friday night, 1/21, at approximately 12:30 a.m., a resident was walking home on the bike path behind Bloom when he was attacked by 2 males, one black and one white, probably in their early to mid 20’s. They tried to get his wallet but the resident was able to throw a few punches of his own and got away from them. One of the attackers was somewhat injured (by the victim) and the other ran away. This is the second incident of this kind in the past few months. Warning: please be aware and do not walk alone on the bike path at night.

Please remember to call 911 if you see a crime in action and call 385-5000, option 1, to report crimes after they have occurred or to report any suspicious activity.
