Police Report: Victim Recognizes Robber from Facebook

A man who was beaten and robbed in a Cartersville neighborhood told police he knows one of the suspects by his Facebook page.

The victim, a Mountain Chase Drive resident, said the two men of four in a silver Honda Pilot Thursday about 9 p.m. approached him at the basketball courts and "bum rushed" him, kicking and punching him in the head, according to the Cartersville Police Department report, above.

A third man from the Pilot was holding a mobile phone as if he were videoing the beating, while the fourth just watched, the victim told police. He said he tried to fight back, but one of the men threatened to kill him.

The robbers took the victim's low-rider bicycle, which is valued at $200.

The victim said he has seen one of the suspects and can't remember where, but knows he's on Facebook, the report says.
