One of the males immediately struck the victim with a solid object across the head. The victim reported the two males then held a solid object, which he believed to be a handgun, to the back of his head and instructed him not to move or turn around. The two males then stole an undisclosed amount of property/money and fled the area.

The victim suffered a laceration to his head and was treated by the Johnson County Ambulance.
