SALISBURY — A 20-year-old man was beaten and robbed Thursday morning near an East Lafayette Street apartment after he agreed to meet a woman he met through a dating app, according to the Salisbury Police Department.

The man flagged down an officer who was on patrol about 2:45 a.m. and told him he had been assaulted. The man had a large bump on the side of his head, according to police Capt. Brian Stallings.

He told police that two men wearing blue bandanas punched him in the face and one of them went through his pockets. The men took his Louis Vuitton belt, a NASA brand flight jacket, his North Carolina ID card, his college ID, a dorm room key, and an iPhone X.

The man took the officer to the area where he was assaulted. Stallings said the officer saw two people who matched the description of the suspects near an apartment complex who took off running. A police K-9 unit searched the area but did not locate anyone.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Salisbury Police Department at 704-638-5333 or Salisbury-Rowan CrimeStoppers at 866-639-5245.
