BEDFORD -- A Euless man was knocked unconscious and lay in a parking lot for several hours early Sunday after robbers repeatedly kicked and punched him during a holdup, police said Monday.

At one point, the 29-year-old man who police did not identify pleaded for his life when one of the bandits pulled a pistol out, but the victim passed out before any shots were fired, police said.

The man awoke about 6 a.m. Sunday, drove home and called police.

No one had been arrested as of Monday.

The holdup happened shortly before 12:30 a.m. Sunday at 2350 Airport Freeway in a parking lot behind Boomer Jack’s Grill and Bar in Bedford. The man's wallet containing a debit card and cash were taken, in addition to his cell phone.

“He and some friends got there Saturday night and went to a nearby restaurant,” Bedford police Lt. Kirk Roberts said Monday. “They all left but they came back and dropped him off.”

The parking lot is used by a nearby office building, police said.

“As he was about to put the key in his vehicle, someone yelled “Hey man”,” Roberts said.

That’s when the man turned and the assault started, police said.

The man was knocked out and he later awoke near his 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe, police said. He drove home, police said.

Paramedics treated the victim at his Euless home.
