Two armed men tried to rob another man early Monday morning in the parking lot of his apartment complex, police said.

The man returned from work shortly after midnight to his apartment complex on South Gammon Road at Flower Lane when one of the gunmen placed a handgun to his neck and demanded money, according to a release.

The man told the gunmen he didn’t have any cash, police said. The two men fled on foot when another car pulled into the lot.

The victim was not immediately sure what to do and didn’t contact police until Monday afternoon, according to the release.

One of the would-be robbers is described as black, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, in his teens to early 20s with a thin build and a light complexion. He was wearing a maroon hooded sweatshirt and a mask over his nose and mouth.
