LAKEWOOD, Ohio – Two armed robberies in Lakewood Monday and Tuesday saw two men pistol-whipped in the separate incidents.

No arrests have been made, and officers are still questioning witnesses, police said.

A Lakewood woman called police and said two men attacked her father and his friend about 5 a.m. Monday as they were walking home on Ridgewood Avenue, a police report said. She said one of the men hit her father on the head with a handgun and he was bleeding.

The men got into a car parked nearby and drove off, she said, according to the report.

A Lakewood man said a man approached him about 6 p.m. Tuesday in an Aldi's parking lot on West 117th Street. The man pulled out a silver handgun with a black handle and took the man's wallet and cellphone, a police report said.

The victim said the man pistol-whipped him and then ran north on Coutant Avenue, the report said.

It is unclear if the two incidents are related.
