December 23, 2023 - Fresno Police Department officials report that on November 23, 2023, at approximately 5:30 p.m., a 62-year-old man sat down at the FAX bus stop at Blackstone Avenue and Griffith Avenue. A short time later, two males approached him and without reason, the male in the gray Ecko hoodie struck the victim once in the face with a closed fist, rendering the victim unconscious. The same subject took money from the hand of the unconscious victim and then stomped him in the chest with his foot causing a broken rib.

The male in the black and red jersey did not physically contact the victim but appeared, based on video surveillance, to be working in conjunction with the primary suspect in gray. The elderly victim was hospitalized.

If you have any information on the identity of these suspects and/or their whereabouts, please contact Detective Paul Hill at (559) 621-6318 or email paul.hill@fresno.gov.
