WARREN

Police are investigating three robberies that took place Monday and early Tuesday, two of them involving firearms, the third one a baseball bat.

At 9:55 p.m. Monday, a 48-year-old city man reported being robbed by two males as he walked on Idylwild Street Northwest.

The man said the two brandished firearms, took his wallet and other items from his pockets and assaulted him.

He was bleeding from his forehead and bridge of the nose.

The victim was taken to Trumbull Memorial Hospital for treatment.

A witness said two males were on his porch earlier with guns.

The witness said he didn’t know who they were, but they took off running when he answered his door with his own gun.

At 10:50 p.m., two males walked into the Lit’l Mac Food Store on Parkman Road with one of them pushing a clerk into the wall with a gun pointing at her.

The other male pointed a gun at the other clerk and forced her into the back of the store, but he was unable to get any money from the back and returned with the clerk to the front.

Both suspects fled after taking cash from a register, the cellphone from one of the workers and a credit card from the other.

At 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, police were called to TMH for a 18-year-old city man who said he was assaulted with a baseball bat by a male he knows while he was with another male and two females on the bike trail near Warren G. Harding High School.

The victim said he also was robbed of two necklaces, a pocket knife and two pairs of headphones.

A second man was robbed of his cellphone but not injured, police said.

The victim said he was hit in the wrist, neck and head area and rib cage.
