Lexington police continue to investigate a pair of violent overnight robberies.
Police say a man and a friend were walking along Trade Center Drive, just of New Circle Road, around 2 a.m., when a car pulled up and four men jumped out. One man chased the friend, and the other three attacked the victim and took his wallet. Officers say one of the robbers hit the victim in the head with a pole, but the victim did not suffer serious injuries. Police say they only got a vague description of the suspects.

Officers say about an hour earlier, a man fought off a knife-wielding robber downtown. Police say the victim told them two men, one armed with a knife, tried to take his backpack along Oliver Lewis Way, near West High Street. The suspects ran off empty-handed, but the victim suffered a cut to the hand.
