A man was injured Wednesday night on Chanslor Avenue after being reportedly struck in the head with a rifle during an attempted robbery, police said.

According to Richmond Police Department Public Information Officer Lynnelle Sanchez, officers responded to two ShotSpotter activations around 8:58 p.m.: one near Espee Avenue and Chanslor Avenue and another in the 100 block of 23rd Street. 

“Upon arriving at the 2100 block of Chanslor Avenue, officers located a victim who had sustained injuries reportedly caused by being struck in the head with the butt of a rifle,” Sanchez said. “The victim stated that the suspect had demanded money during the incident.”

Police said the victim was transported to a nearby medical facility for treatment. No suspects have been arrested at this time, and the case is currently under investigation.
