Andy Brown Mugged Last Night

(Community Matters) Just reading on Facebook that Andy Brown was mugged last night.

Andy’s Facebook posting: It was last night in Austin near 4th and I-35, near Cothran’s Locksmith around 10:40pm–between some industrial buildings and a big open field. I had left ACL, dropped my car at my house and was walking downtown to meet some friends. I was on the phone with my friend Chike at the time who heard the whole thing but I hadn’t said yet where I was to Chike–he thought I was still over by ACL so when he called 911 they didn’t know where to look. After I finally called the police, they were very friendly and helpful, came quickly once I found a phone to call them–I was impressed with their speed. No payphones in that area so it took about 10 minutes to find a phone to call call them so I’m guessing the guy got away. Of course I wouldn’t know if they caught him because I don’t have a phone for them to call me and let me know. The guy was probably around 18-20 years old, 5 foot 10, had the knife in his right hand, dressed in longsleeve baggy black shirt and black pants and was wearing a lime green bandana to hide his face. He kept saying “Don’t make me do this, don’t make me do this!” then asked for my cash and phone. My question is, who wears a lime green bandana to rob somebody? Seriously.
