Man and 4- Year Old Son Held Up at 6 PM on Sunday On Van Buren Avenue in Lake Merritt

This was sent via email from a friend in the area

One of my friends was held up with a gun yesterday, around 6pm, right on Van Buren close to our driveway, and had to surrender his wallet.

He was talking on his cellphone, and had a 4 year old boy with him... The guy who assaulted him wasn't alone.

PLEASE BE EXTRA CAREFUL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD!

The police said it was the second attack that afternoon in that street...
