Man Attacked And Robbed Of Playstation 3 Consoles

LA PALMA, Calif. (AP) ― Two men who had agreed to buy two PlayStation 3 consoles from a third man attacked the seller at a California McDonald's restaurant early Monday morning.

The victim -- a man in his 20s whose name was not released -- was assaulted with pepper spray and robbed of the coveted consoles.

The seller met the two men around 1 a.m. at a McDonald's restaurant on Moody Street and Orangethorpe Avenue, in La Palma, Calif., according to Sgt. Terry Kim of the La Palma Police Department.

One man sprayed the victim with pepper spray, then the pair fled on foot with the PS3 consoles, Kim said.

The victim was treated by paramedics at the scene, he said.

The suspects are described as men in their 20s.

The victim said that he had advertised the consoles on Craigslist.com, and was trying to sell both items for $5,000. PS3s retail for $500 or $600 per unit.
