A man called police just before 9 PM Friday night to report that he had been beaten and robbed by a man on 11th Ave near Cal Anderson Park. No word on what was taken from the man or the extent of his injuries but police did call fire to the scene to treat the man’s wounds. Another man at the scene also required treatment but it’s not clear at this time what his relation to the incident is.

The man described his attacker as a black male carrying a cane. A man matching that description was contacted by police near Cal Anderson a short time after the reported beating and robbery. No confirmation at this point if the man was taken into custody.

The call came in to police around 8:51 PM as a crowd gathered nearby to enjoy an outdoor movie in the park. Thanks to everybody for your tips and notes about the incident.
