Man beaten, threatened with gun during Ohio robbery caught on camera

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Surveillance cameras caught two suspects beating and robbing a man at a carry-out in the South Side.

The victim was approached in the cooler bay of a carry-out in the 1500 block of Frebis Ave. by two suspects around 2 p.m. on Jan. 22, according to the Columbus Division of Police. Without reason, the first man began to repeatedly beat the victim on the head with a closed fist.
