Child’s Scooter Used in Assault on Man, Lincoln Police Say

lincoln-policeLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Police say a child’s scooter was used to assault a man in Lincoln.

The assault was reported early Sunday morning. Police say a man approached a house to ask for help because he was lost, but the residents wouldn’t help and were verbally abusive. The man walked away but was attacked from behind about a block later and knocked out. When he awoke he discovered that $214 was missing from his wallet.

He managed to contact a friend to come pick him up, and they went to the house the lost man had approached earlier. Police say both men were assaulted there, and one was struck by the scooter.

Police arrested a 29-year-old man on suspicion of assault. No robbery arrest has been reported.
