A 60-year-old man sitting in his car on the 4400 block of Pacific Avenue in Stockton was pistol-whipped by one attacker and held at knifepoint by a second as the pair robbed him late Wednesday night, then slashed his tires before running off. The confrontation happened at about 10:30 p.m. as the victim sat parked in his vehicle, with no indication he was aware of the men before they approached.
According to FOX40, one of the two men pistol-whipped the victim and demanded his property, while the second suspect held him at knifepoint and took his belongings. Once they had what they wanted, the suspects slashed the man's tires before fleeing the scene on foot, leaving him stranded in a disabled car.
The station reports the victim was left uninjured despite the pistol-whipping and declined medical attention at the scene. Police described the suspects as a Black man and a white man, both last seen wearing black clothing, though no further identifying details have been released.
No Arrests Announced in Pacific Avenue Case
As of the latest reporting, no suspects have been identified by name or taken into custody in connection with the Pacific Avenue robbery. The account of the attack, including the use of both a firearm and a knife against a single victim, came from the same station's report on the incident.
The Pacific Avenue robbery is not the only armed confrontation reported recently in Stockton. In a separate case detailed by CBS Sacramento, three people were arrested following an armed robbery and shooting in the city's Seaport District on a Sunday evening. In that incident, police said a 27-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint near Colorado and Flint avenues at about 10:15 p.m., and the gunman fired a shot at the victim after he complied, though he was not hit.
The three suspects in the Seaport District case were booked on charges of robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, and weapons charges, CBS Sacramento reported. That case remains separate from the Pacific Avenue robbery, and the evidence does not point to any connection between the two.
