Woman pistol-whipped, robbed walking home from work in Tremont

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Two armed robbers pistol-whipped a woman walking home from work near Lincoln Park in Tremont, police say.

The incident happened about 12:15 a.m. Wednesday on Kenilworth Avenue near the park.

The woman told police two men walked up behind her and struck her in the face with a gun. 

The impact knocked her to the ground. She looked up and saw both men, including one who was pointing a gun at her.

The gunman told her to "give me all you got," then hit her in the face with the gun two more times, according to police reports. 

The duo stole $50, an iPhone, two credit cards and her backpack, which contained cigarettes and expensive sunglasses. The men deactivated the woman's cellphone and police were unable to track it, according to police reports.

The two men ran east to a car on West 11th Street and sped off. The woman told police she could not see the type of car the men drove.

She was taken to Lutheran Hospital for treatment. She suffered swelling and scratches to the left side of her face, police reports say.
