Traverse City police are investigating after a 30-year-old man said he was jumped by two men in a homeless camp and robbed of his cellphone, backpack and wallet.
The man, who police suspect is also homeless, told police he was walking on the Men’s Trail near Eleventh and Division streets Saturday at 8pm when he encountered a group of around 10 people sitting around a fire and three tents. Two of them, men who appeared to be under 40, attacked and robbed him, TCPD Chief Jeffrey O’Brien says.
The man, who lost consciousness in the attack, reported the incident to police the following afternoon. O’Brien says that the man was taken to Munson Medical Center to be treated for a suspected concussion, an injured eye, and a cut on his head.
Officers who were sent to the area to investigate found the camp abandoned, O’Brien says.
