Men Drag, Bind and Rob Victim Near St. Pius

Three men grabbed a man walking along Buford Highway, dragged him into the woods and robbed and cut him near on Monday night, DeKalb County police said.

The 29-year-old victim was walking along the highway when he was grabbed at about 9:15pm, the police report said. Once he was in the woods, the men took $800 in cash, his shoes and his cell phone and left him bound on the ground. One of the men also cut his arm, the victim said.

A woman driving down Plaster Road toward Johnson Road called police after she said she saw the three men grab the victim and pull him into the trees. A responding police officer found him later in the woods, laying on his stomach with his hands and feet tied up.

The victim could not tell police which suspect was carrying a knife. He had two six-inch cuts on his arm, and he was taken to Northside Hospital.
