SPARKS -- A man was injured after he was robbed while he was arriving to work early Saturday morning.

Sunday morning at around 7:30 am, two Sparks police officers were flagged down by an employee of a restaurant located in the 1400 block of East Prater Way and advised the officers that he had been robbed in front of the restaurant approximately two hours earlier.  The victim stated that as he was arriving at work two male subjects stood in front of his vehicle forcing him to stop.  One of the males then went to the drivers side while the other continued to stand in front of  the vehicle.  The male who approached the drivers side then began demanding the victims wallet and tried to enter the vehicle.  The victim managed to roll his window up however the suspect, who was armed with a rock, through the rock through the window.  Once the window was broken the suspect reached into the vehicle and took the victims wallet.

The victim received a minor laceration to the left side of his head from the broken glass during the robbery  but did not require medical attention.  Due to a language barrier it is unknown why the victim did not immediately call the police.
