Police are looking for two unidentified robbers who pulled a knife on a 17-year-old boy as he walked home from school last week.

Two men approached the victim at 3:30 p.m. on Nov. 7 at 4469 N. Lawrence and asked him "What you guy about?," a police report said.

"Nothing," the victim replied, according to the report.

One assailant then took out a gold-colored pocket knife and put it to the boy's head, police said.

The robbers demanded the victim's jacket. The boy handed it over and the robbers fled.

The jacket was valued at $30 and was the only thing taken from the victim, police said.

I don't think 4469 N. Lawrence makes sense. Lawrence addresses are only West, as far as I know.
