Two men were arrested Wednesday after police say they robbed a man of some painkillers on Astor Avenue in Ann Arbor, a city police report said.
The 21-year-old victim, who was riding in a truck with the men, was hit in the head with brass knuckles during the 2:15 p.m. incident, the report said.
One of the men arrested is a 22-year-old from Ann Arbor, while the other is a 23-year-old from Ypsilanti.
The victim was in town from Dearborn visiting friends, the report said.

According to state law, possession of "metallic knuckles" is a five-year felony. Section 750.224, Michigan Compiled Laws

Were the two men in the truck with the victim, the friends the victim was visiting?

Does the victim have a prescription for the pain killers? Why was he in a truck with two men who robbed him? Where were they going? What does Astor Ave have to do with the story? Aren't brass knuckles illegal for anyone to have? Thanks for the detailed article... I will be sure to stay out of vehicles on Astor Ave with others if I have pain killers on me in the afternoon.
