A man leaving a Stow medical facility says someone tried to rob him of pain medication.
It happened Tuesday at just after noon, in the parking lot of the Akron General Medical Center on Allen Road
The 69 year old man called Stow Police after the attempted theft, and says a man with a black-colored handgun approached him and his wife as they were getting into their car, and demanded drugs.
The victim said he didn't have any, and the would-be robber then got into a car - an older, four-door tan car - and left.
Anyone with information is being asked to call Stow Police.
Police give a description from the victim: White male, 45-55 years old, clean shaven, approximately 5'10", thin build, wearing a light colored beige windbreaker and a green colored ball cap.
