Our friends at Capitolhillseattle.com have info on an ugly, violent robbery on Capitol Hill in which the victims were apparently beaten with a large chain.

From CHS:

In an attack bearing many of the same markings of a street robbery last week in which a man reportedly lost a few teeth and his girlfriend's purse, a man and a woman were robbed this morning just after midnight on 18th Ave near E. Pike, according to a SPD report.

According to the report, the couple was walking on 18th Ave when they tried to pass a group of three men. One of the men struck the male victim in the head and sent him crashing to the sidewalk. As the attacker stole the man's wallet, another man in the group grabbed the woman's purse and struck her in the head with a large, metal chain. The three men ran north on 18th from the scene of the attack.
