A 22-year-old Manassas-area man was taken into custody last night following a strong-arm robbery in the Coverstone neighborhood near Manassas, Prince William County police said.
Jessie Jermaine Patrick, of 7399 Gales Court, was charged with attempted robbery and is being held in lieu of a $50,000 bond at the Prince William-Manassas regional jail, said police spokeswoman Officer Erika Hernandez. He is scheduled to appear in court June 27.
Around 9:21 p.m., a man was walking to his apartment on Coverstone Drive when a man approached him and demanded money, police said.
According to police, the victim began running toward the stairwell of his building, but the would-be robber grabbed at his clothes, pulled him back and struck him several times.
Hernandez said it appears nothing was stolen from the victim. The investigation continues.
