Man Using Mobility Scooter Robbed: Police

Police have been trying to determine who robbed a western Pennsylvania man who was accosted while riding a mobility scooter because he has difficulty walking.

Police in Greensburg say the incident happened about 3:30 a.m. Saturday as the victim, John Byrns, was riding home from a convenience store. Greensburg is about 30 miles east of Pittsburgh.

Investigators say at least one person jumped out from some bushes, put a bag over Byrns' head, and knocked him off the scooter.

Byrns says the suspects kept saying, β€œOver and over, β€˜Your money, your money, your money, your money.’”

The thieves got away with $32 and Byrns had to be treated at a hospital for nasal fractures, a cut over his left eye and other injuries from being punched and kicked.
