A 53-year-old Madison man was robbed at gunpoint Wednesday morning while waiting at a bus stop on Allied Drive, according to a City of Madison Police Department incident report.
The robbery took place at 11:04 a.m. near the intersection of Allied Drive and Lovell Lane on Madison’s west side. The assailant stole the victim’s cell phone and wallet, according to the report.
MPD Officer-in-Charge Jamar Gary described the suspect in a phone interview as a black male in his 20s, 5 feet 7 inches tall, wearing a black and white checkered jacket, saggy jeans, a gray skullcap and black shoes.
