Witnesses sought in robbery of senior downtown

A Calgary senior was robbed downtown last week and investigators are seeking two witnesses who stopped to help the victim.

Just after 11 p.m., on Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2020, a man in his 70s was walking in the area of Sixth Avenue and Seventh Street S.W., when he was approached by a man and a woman who demanded his jacket and produced a handgun. The suspects grabbed the man’s arms and pushed him to the ground, striking his head on the pavement. They took the senior’s jacket and fled.
