At approximately 2:45 a.m., the suspects approached a male victim in the 100 block of Van Buren Street, assaulted him by throwing him to the ground, punching, and kicking him, before robbing him of his wallet, $300.00, and his iPhone 14 Pro cell phone. The suspects fled south on Van Buren Street towards Lafayette Street.
