Man Punches Victim With Brass Knuckles, Robs Him at Plaza Fiesta

An Atlanta man was punched repeatedly in the head and face with a pair of brass knuckles and robbed in the Plaza Fiesta parking lot Sunday, DeKalb County police said.

The 60-year-old victim was walking at 4166 Buford Highway when he was grabbed from behind and punched in the back of the head with silver brass knuckles, the police report said. He tried to cover himself, but the suspect continued to punch him in the face until he rolled onto his stomach.

"Don't move, [expletive]," the suspect said and searched his pockets.

The suspect stole a rosary necklace worth about $1,200, $500 in cash, a cell phone and an ID card. The victim was taken to Northside Hospital where he received sutures to a cut on his face above his right eye. He also had a large bump on the back of his head.

The suspect was described as a black male with "twisties" in his hair. He wore a white T-shirt and blue jeans.
