Two Men Assaulted In Separate Attacks On Same Lincoln Trail

Two Lincoln men were attacked on the same trail Monday night. 

Lincoln Police say around 9:00 Monday night, a 23 year old man reported that he was walking home on the Jayne Snyder Trail when he was swarmed by a group of five juveniles. The victim said that the juveniles demanded his cell phone and wallet. The man said that during the course of the robbery two of the juveniles displayed handguns and he was hit in the head from behind. The victim believes a third juvenile struck him in the head with a gun. After being hit in the head the victim ran away with the suspects chasing him for a short distance before leaving the area.

Then shortly after 9:00, a 28 year old man reported he was walking on the same bike path when he was confronted by several juveniles. The victim said one of the juveniles pointed a gun at him and demanded his wallet and phone. He turned over his belongings and the suspects began hitting him in the face. 

A fourteen year old was taken into custody and held on robbery and weapons charges. The investigation is ongoing.
