Feb. 25--Two men were hospitalized Thursday after being struck by a sport utility vehicle in the parking lot of a northwest Oklahoma City bar while trying to stop some robbers, police said.
About 1 a.m., police were called to the Outback Bar at 2601 S Portland Ave., Sgt. Gary Knight said.
Two men at the scene told police the men demanded money and jewelry from some patrons.
When the victims refused, one of the robbers tore a necklace off of one of the victims and got into a sport utility vehicle. As the robber was getting into the SUV, the victims tried to stop him. They were struck by the vehicle as it sped away.
Both victims were taken to local hospitals with non-life threatening injuries. Their names weren't released.
Police do not have a description of the robbers, but they were last seen driving a white 1990s model Chevrolet Suburban.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 235-7300.
