At 1:10 a.m., a man slowed his car at the intersection of Spruce and Huntington avenues when a primer colored Honda Accord drove in front of him and blocked his movement. The passenger got out of the car, approached the victim at gunpoint, demanded money, removed the man's wallet and backpack from the front seat and then pistol whipped him. The man suffered a minor head injury, according to police.
