A Dearborn resident reported a robbery at gunpoint Sunday, according to Dearborn Police reports.
The resident told police that he was going for a walk at around 6:30 p.m. on Hemlock near Bingham street—right near Hemlock Park—when a woman standing nearby gestured to him to come over to her. He refused and kept walking. Then, two men joined her and also asked him to come closer.
The resident again refused, at which point one of the men pulled out a black semi-automatic handgun, pointing it toward him. The other man, he told police, went through his pockets while he was being held at gunpoint and took his wallet.
