'Grab and Run' Theft precedes Beating
Mark Andrew, 63, was at a Starbucks inside the mall at around 7 p.m. Thursday when a man grabbed his phone off his table and ran off.
When Andrew went after him, he was tackled by two teenage girls -- aged 18 and 17 — one of which began beating him with a billy club. During the attack, they told Andrew, "We're going to kill you," police say.
Andrew was left with a large gash on his head that required nine stitches. He has since been released from the hospital.
It's a matter of public safety...
Sure is!
