A 28-year-old Madison resident called police Saturday after a friend robbed him and another man threatened him with a gun, according to police.
Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain said in a statement the victim’s acquaintance asked the victim for a ride, and the victim picked him up in the 700 block of University Avenue.
The suspect reached inside the victim’s pocket, grabbed his money and ran away, according to the statement.
“The victim said he gave [up the] chase and ended up near North Broom Street and West Mifflin Street,” DeSpain said in a statement.
According to the police report, the victim stopped chasing the first suspect when another man, wearing a ski mask and ski goggles, approached the victim with a gun and threatened to kill him, according to DeSpain.
Police describe the alleged robber, who was wearing a black sweat suit and tennis shoes, as a 28 to 29-year-old black man. The other suspect wore a tan jacket and black jeans, police said.
