A 53-year-old Watertown man told police he was beaten and robbed after exiting a pharmacy in Harvard Square with prescription pain medication.

Around 4:30 pm. on April 19, a Cambridge police officer patrolling Harvard Square on foot was approached by a man in the Pit near the entrance of the Harvard Square T station. The man told the officer he was kicked, beaten and robbed in an alley off Brattle and Story streets.

He told police he had just been released from the hospital after having surgery. Officers said a large scar at least 10 inches long with staples was visible on his stomach. He said he was filling several prescriptions for pain medication, when he was followed by two suspects. When leaving the pharmacy, the suspects allegedly pushed him into an alley, and beat him, before stealing his bag, which contained a bottle of Oxycontin with 72 pills and two bottles of Gabapentin. He said they also took his wallet and removed $15, before throwing the wallet back at him.

The first suspect is described as a heavy-set white man, 5-feet 7-inches tall, with dirty brown hair, wearing a brown jacket, blue jeans and black-and-white Adidas sneakers.

The second suspect is described as a thin white man, 6-feet tall, 165 pounds, with a beard, wearing a Celtics hat, dark-colored jeans and black Nike sneakers.
