A 33-year-old man woke up in the French Quarter to a man patting his pockets and holding a knife to his face Sunday (May 26), New Orleans police said. It was one of three armed robberies reported across the city in a span of nine hours.
The armed robber took the man’s wallet from his jacket pocket, which contained cash, before fleeing the scene in the 2600 block of Toulouse Street, police said. The robbery was reported around 4:40 a.m. A description of the robber was not available in an initial report.
One block over, a 30-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint, police said. Around 8 p.m. Saturday (May 25), a stranger approached the man near the intersection of Bourbon and Saint Louis streets, pointed a gun at him and demanded his property.
The man complied and the robber fled with the 30-year-old’s wallet and cell phone, NOPD said.
Another armed robbery was reported around 4:15 p.m. in Gentilly Terrace. Police reported that a 37-year-old woman pointed a silver revolver at a 40-year-old woman at a home in the 2000 block of Selma Street.
