He said the men appeared to be unsteady on their feet and guessed they had been drinking, reports stated.

The man said as he walked beside the two men, one of them stepped in front of him blocking his path, and the other man pushed him to the ground and kicked him in the ribs, reports stated.

The man told police the first man asked him, "What have you got?" to which he replied, "Nothing!" reports stated.

He said he tried to stand up, and the second male aimed a kick at his body but missed, reports stated.

The man said he told the two men to calm down and told them he had some cash, reports stated.

He said he handed the men $45 and they took off running, reports stated.

The man provided police with a good description of the men and would be able to identify them if they were caught, reports stated.

Police searched the surrounding area but were unable to find the men, reports stated.

She said when she returned she found someone had smashed in the rear window and scratched the paint on the driver's-side door, reports stated.

As police arrived they identified a male sitting on a chair on the north side of the building, reports stated.
