Two men attempted to rob a man Sunday near South Division and East Jefferson streets in Ann Arbor, but the victim refused to hand over any money, police said.
About 8 p.m., the victim, an Ann Arbor resident, was walking near the intersection on his way to Blimpy Burger when two men started walking with him, police spokeswoman Lt. Renee Bush said.
One of the men asked the victim a question, then told him to hand over everything he had, Bush said. The victim refused, saying he was simply trying to get home. At one point, one of the men threatened to shoot the victim, police said, but no weapons were seen.
The victim saw a woman walking by and began to walk with her, police said. The men left the area. So far, no arrests have been made.
Both men involved were black and in their 20s, police said. One was 5 feet, 10 inches tall, weighed about 150 pounds and was wearing a red sweatshirt. The other was 6 feet, 3 inches tall, weighed about 190 pounds and was wearing a gray sweatshirt. He had a goatee, police said.
