8/15/2007

Four male suspects hit a South Toledo man in the head with a beer bottle, stole his cell phone and $100, and then stripped him of his clothing early yesterday near an East Toledo housing complex, police said.

Police found Christopher McConnell, 21, whose last known address was 1016 Alden Ct., sitting naked in the middle of the 700 block of Siegel Court in the Weiler Homes at about 2:05 a.m.

McConnell said one of the suspects hit him in the head with a beer bottle, knocking him to the ground, a police report stated.

All four suspects then began punching and kicking McConnell while removing his clothing, police said. McConnell was taken to St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center and a nursing supervisor said no one by that name was listed as a patient there.
