Police are searching for four men who they say violently attacked a man and then used his keys to break into his home while the victim was being treated for his injuries at a hospital.
The victim was driving in Southwest Philly on the 5500 block of Larchwood Avenue around 5:30 p.m., when the suspects entered his car, pistol-whipped the driver and stole his wallet, according to police.
The victim broke free from the assailants and ran to the Philadelphia Police Department's 18th District Headquarters at 5510 Pine St., according to officials.
The attackers also fled the scene, leaving the car behind, but taking the victim's set of keys with them.
While officers transported the victim to a hospital to treat a gash on his head, the attackers planned their next move -- robbing the driver's suburban condo.
The victim's license listed a former Philadelphia address, but the suspects discovered his current address on a business card in his wallet.
