A man was attacked and robbed by three men while he walked through Arsenal Park on the evening of July 1. 

Police received a call at 9:28 p.m. from the victim, a 28-year-old man from Newton, who went over to the IHOP on Soldiers Field Road after the attack.

“The victim was visibly shaken and had lacerations on both knees and had pain on his head and back,” said Watertown Police Lt. Michael Lawn.

The man left work at the Arsenal Project and said he walked through nearby Arsenal Park.

“He was struck from behind and knocked to the ground,” Lawn said. “He was kicked in the midsection and was attacked by 3-4 black males, possibly wearing backpacks.”

The victim could not provide any more description of the suspects, Lawn said.

The man was carrying a small credit card machine, which the men took from him.

Police are investigating the incident.
