The robbery happened just before 1 a.m. on Morton Street, police said. During the robbery, police said three men stole the victim's size 8 blue and white Nike Air Max shoes.
The victim, 29-year-old Angelo Villamil, told police he had bought drugs in South Bethlehem and had fought with the dealer. Police are still investigating if both crimes are connected.
