Man says robber took wallet, phone

A man was robbed at gunpoint of his cellphone and wallet, which contained $200 in cash, in Little Rock on Thursday morning, police said.

The victim told officers that while he was in his pickup in the area of 12th and Rice streets around 10 a.m., a stranger approached him asking for a lighter. He thought the stranger appeared to be "suspicious" because he kept his hands in his pockets, according to a report from the city's Police Department.

The 33-year-old Benton resident reportedly tried to crawl out of his vehicle but fell to the ground, causing him to scrape his finger and have pain on his left side. As he stood back up, the assailant pulled out a handgun and said, "Don't look back," the report said.

The victim told the gunman to not shoot him and threw his property at him, according to the report. An iPhone 7, and a wallet that contained $200 in cash, debit cards and an ID were listed as stolen.

The report said the robber then fled on foot in an unknown direction.
