Two men robbed in Scalzi Park

4/25/2008 STAMFORD - Two city men were robbed at gunpoint and pistol-whipped Wednesday night in Scalzi Park, police said.

Police are searching for three suspects who approached the victims, ages 25 and 28, as they walked through the park about 9 p.m., said Lt. Sean Cooney, a police spokesman.

The suspects demanded cash, and two of them pulled out handguns, Cooney said.

They pistol-whipped both victims in the face before fleeing with about $100 cash and a cell phone, police said. They broke the nose of one victim and cut the other in the face, Cooney said.

Both were treated at Stamford Hospital, where medical workers alerted police.

The incident remains under investigation.
