Two young men stole the man's wallet after one of them hit him, knocking him to the ground about 10:15 p.m. at Grinnell and Fleming streets, reports say. The assailants took off toward the cemetery. The tourist later was airlifted to Miami for medical care.
The robbers were both described as in their late teens or early 20s, between 5 feet, 6 inches and 5 feet, 9 inches tall, clean-shaven, with short hair. The victim said one of them was thin, and the other had "a bit of a beer belly."
