Akron Police are looking for two suspects following a street robbery late Monday night.

Around 11pm, a 53 year old man reported he was walking near the intersection of East South and Sherman Streets, when he was approached from behind by two men. The suspects demanded money, before punching him in the face and knocking him to the ground. While on the ground, the suspects kicked the victim in the stomach several times before removing about a dollar in change from his pockets. The suspects fled and the victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

The suspects are two black males, 18 – 21 years old, 5’07” – 5’08”, 165 – 175 lbs., wearing all dark clothing.
