Lt. Mike Sadauskis said officers were called to the pavilion area of Mayo Park about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday after a 28-year-old Rochester man had been tackled by up to six other men.

The man told police one of the men had a gun and held it to his head. Sadauskis said the men assaulted the man and he gave up his backpack and personal items. The man didn't require treatment.

On Monday night, Sadauskis said a 16-year-old boy was attacked in the same area while on his skateboard. Both victims gave a similar description of the gunman.

Sadauskis said the man is described as a black man in his early 20s, 150 to 160 pounds with a stocky build.

If you have any information that can help investigators, you're asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

As long as they don’t do it near a Kwik Trip or a donut shop they will be fine.

I’m sure Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton will lead a protest march any day now in Rochester, Minn. in support of the white victims. /s

The gunman was black, the rest of the gang looked like a Hollywood WWII platoon.

I still get the question...”Why in the world would you ever want to carry a gun?”
