Police, fire rescue
An unknown man punched a driver delivering newspapers as he and two other men attempted to rob the driver Thursday morning on the city’s southeast side, police said.
The 36-year-old driver didn’t suffer any visible injuries and didn’t require medical care following the attack about 3 a.m. near the intersection of Arcadia and McGraw drives, said Bloomington police spokesman David White.
The driver told police he was delivering newspapers when a man stepped in front of his vehicle and two other men approached his window, White said. The men demanded money and one punched him when he said he didn’t have any.
The 36-year-old drove away and called police near the intersection of Washington Street and Prospect Road, White said.
