HERCULES (KRON) — Four people were robbed at gunpoint Thursday on a walking path near the Hercules High School football field, police said on Monday.
The robbery happened at around 10:37 p.m. on the Refugio Valley Road walking path.
Four people were walking along the path when two men came out of the bushes and robbed the group at gunpoint.
Police said the suspects also hit the victims and one fell to the ground. Three victims who were taken to a hospital were released a short time later.
