Robber Puts Finger to Victim's Temple, Demands Money
The victim threw $7 in cash on the ground, and the men demanded more, police said.
Annapolis police are searching for two men involved in a robbery behind Germantown Elementary School in Annapolis on Saturday that involved a threatening finger gesture.
Police reported a 53-year-old male was robbed by two unknown men as he was walking along a foot path behind the school on Saturday night at about 8 p.m.
The man passed two men, and feeling suspicious about them, turned around to see them directly in front of him.
"One subject took his index finger and put it on the right side of (the victim's) temple and stated, 'You got any money on you?'" according to the report.
The victim threw $7 in cash on the ground, and the men demanded more. He then blocked a punch thrown by one of the men, and the two groups suddenly scattered.
No description of the suspects was given to police, as the area where the incident occurred was poorly lit, according to the report.
On Dec. 12, a man was robbed in Glen Burnie after a suspect used his finger as if it were a handgun in a robbery.
