The man with whom the victim had been fighting said, “I ain’t got your money, huh,” which prompted the two to become embroiled in another round of fisticuffs. During this exchange of blows the victim was struck on the head with a metal object and as he stumbled around in a temporary stunned state the two suspects left the scene.
