According to Columbus police, a man was assaulted, shot and robbed of his phone late Tuesday night in a North Linden park, while he was playing Pokemon Go.
Investigators revealed as the victim was playing the popular mobile game near a park, a juvenile approached on a bike asking to use their phone to call his mother. Police said the anonymous juvenile then took off with the phone.
