Police arrested a man accused of robbing and stabbing the owner of a Southwest Philadelphia auto tag shop more than 20 times last year.
Malcolm Pollard, 20, was arrested and charged with robbery, simple assault, terroristic threats and other related offenses.
On Oct. 8, 2015, shortly before 6 p.m., police responded to the Southwest Auto Tag Service on the 6200 block of Dicks Avenue. When they arrived they found the 62-year-old owner of the shop lying on the ground and suffering from several stab wounds throughout his body. The man told police he had been stabbed several times. He was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and listed in critical condition.
The man's black flip cell phone, a pocket book, mini iPad 4 and a wallet containing between $800 and $1500 were stolen, police said.
Pollard, a Philadelphia resident, was arrested in York, Pennsylvania Monday in reference to a separate incident, police said. He is also charged in connection to a robbery at a 7-Eleven store on the 2900 block of South 70th Street on Oct. 7.
Pollard's bail is set at $1.5 million.
