A physical altercation left a woman minus her cell phone Saturday night.

Authorities responded to a robbery in progress on the 1100 block of Kater Street where they learned the male complainant had been walking with his girlfriend when an unknown man put him in a headlock and barked “Don’t move,” Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The attacked party fended off the aggressor’s attempts to pick his left front pants pocket, with a struggle ensuing.

The offender eventually ceased battling with him yet grabbed his companion’s coat, with the female giving chase, Tolliver said. Her cell phone fell from the garment, with she and the male vying for possession of it, with the latter gaining control before fleeing westbound on Kater Street. The individuals described the offender as black, 30 to 35 years old, 165 to 170 pounds, 5-foot-10 to 5-foot-11; having a thin build and a light mustache and wearing a light gray hoodie.
