Officials said they’re searching for two robbers who attacked a 59-year-old woman as she walked to her apartment.
The incident happened near the right field entrance to First Tennessee Park around 10:55 p.m. Saturday.
Reports stated the 59-year-old victim had gone to a performance at TPAC and was walking on Junior Gilliam Way on her way to her 3rd Avenue North apartment.
That’s when two men, not knowing they were being recorded on surveillance cameras, came up from behind and hit her in the head with a metal stake, knocking her to the ground.
Police said the two suspects took the woman’s purse and cell phone. They fled from the scene on foot in different directions.
