Police are investigating a robbery in Stockton after a man armed with a machete threatened a victim and stole his belongings earlier this week.
The robbery was reported at 1:17 p.m. Wednesday in the 1000 block of East Bianchi Road, according to the Stockton Police Department.
Police said a 41-year-old man was walking along railroad tracks in the area when he began arguing with a man he knew. During the confrontation, the suspect pulled out a machete, lunged at the victim and swung the weapon toward him but missed.
The department alleged the suspect then took the victim’s property and fled the area.
