LYNN — A 33-year-old man was robbed by two other men while walking at the intersection of Hanover and North Common streets Tuesday night.
At approximately 11:15 p.m., the man was walking home from work when he was approached by two men, 27-year-old Roy Sanders-Riley, of Lynn, and another unknown male suspect, who demanded money from him, Lynn Police Lt. Michael Kmiec said.
Sanders-Riley and the other man allegedly pushed the victim, and grabbed money out of his hand. The victim took off running and was able to flag down a nearby police cruiser for assistance, Kmiec said.
The unknown male suspect took off running across the Commons with a stolen $40, but Sanders-Riley stayed on scene and was arrested for unarmed robbery, Kmiec said.
The incident remains under investigation.
