A Madison man was beaten and robbed while walking on East Gorham Street early Tuesday morning.
The 27-year-old victim flagged down a Madison Police officer driving at 11:56 a.m. to report the incident that occurred hours earlier, according to a police report. The victim said he was walking near the intersection of Gorham Street and Franklin Street at 2:15 a.m. when a silver four-door vehicle pulled up next to him. A man jumped out of the car, tackled the victim to the ground and began to punch him.
The victim suffered blows to the head in the attack and the perpetrator took his wallet and cell phone before fleeing in the vehicle. Police describe the assailant as a white male in his 20s, 6'0' and 160 pounds with short sandy blonde hair and an unshaven face. He was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.
