Police continue to search for a man they said jumped into the back seat of a car parked on Pleasant Street and robbed a passenger inside at gunpoint yesterday morning.

According to a news release, the 26-year-old victim was sitting in the front passenger's seat of his friend's car near 244 Pleasant St. when a man approached the car. The victim, a city resident, was waiting for a friend who was in a nearby store.

“A male then entered the vehicle by the rear passenger seat and sat down,” the police department news release said. “Once the male was in the vehicle, he brandished a silver handgun and pointed it into the back of the passenger seat and stated, ‘Good morning man. This is a stickup. What you got?'”

The victim said all he had was a medical prescription, and the suspect took it. The suspect then ran off. Police did not say what drug the prescription was for.

Police said the suspect is described as a tall black man in his 20s, with short hair and a mustache, and wearing a black coat and hat, gray shirt and blue jeans.

Anyone with information is asked to call the detective bureau at (508) 799-8651.
