ST. CROIX — A man earning an honest living was gun-butted several times and robbed of his gold necklace during an altercation that took place near\u00a0the Candido Guadeloupe Housing Community, VIPD Media Specialist Sakeeda Freeman announced on Friday.<\/p>\n

According to Ms. Freeman, citing a preliminary police report, the victim, who was working at the housing community for his employer, took a break and walked to his vehicle\u00a0that was parked in the southeastern portion of the parking lot.<\/p>\n

While attempting to start the transport, an unknown man approached him from behind and placed a hard object to the back of his head. The unknown man then demanded money and the gold chain that the victim was wearing, and proceeded to batter the victim on his head with the object, which was later described as a gun.<\/p>\n

A physical altercation ensued, and the suspect threatened to shoot the victim. The suspect proceeded to forcefully pull the gold chain from the victim’s neck and hurriedly fled the scene.<\/p>\n

The victim sustained a laceration to the upper back portion of his head; but declined medical attention. He was also unable to provide officers with a description of the assailant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
