A local woman was robbed at knifepoint Friday evening as she was walking in east Salina.

The 57-year-old woman told police that she was walking in the 2100 block of E. Crawford Street when she was approached by a Black male brandishing a knife with a black handle. He demanded the woman's money, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. The incident occurred at approximately 6 p.m. Friday.

The woman gave the man her cash and he ran southbound toward an apartment complex before turing eastward, Forrester said.

The man was described as being approximately six-foot, two-inches tall and weighing approximately 200 pounds. He was wearing a blue t-shirt and black pants.

Police are reviewing all of surveillance video they can find, he said.
