A man was attacked during an attempted armed robbery Friday in broad daylight.
Kinston police say the attempted robbery happened in front of Tony's Friendly Mart on East Shine Street just before noon.
Police say three men, one armed with a long gun and two with handguns, approached the Keith Wiggins and demanded money. Wiggins tried to run, but fell. Police say his attackers then hit him with a gun.
All three gunmen were wearing all black, with bandannas covering their faces.
Police say the 49-year-old Wiggins was taken to Lenoir Memorial Hospital for treatment of a moderate head wound. They say no shots were fired during the attempted robbery.
Wiggins' brother told WITN News that he started to run after one of the attackers, who turned and flashed a large gun at him. At that point the chase ended and the brother returned to tend to the injured Wiggins.
Police say right now they have no suspects in the attack.

The police only have 3 cops assigned to East Kinston. Of course commanders go and do as they please and the SRU team is a complete joke. The leaders starting from Boyd need a fire under their butts. (Especially since the city keeps on building fire stations left and right-but that's another issue especially when you combine fire and police and WHO'S behind all that bull)Do you know their was a memo telling the officers to not patrol Highway 70 where all those fatal accidents occur? KPD corruption at it's finest. Another tidbit...we were forced to turn off our cars and sit still instead of patrolling. Do to gas prices at one time...And guess what gas prices are going up again.

People better wake up and start carrying guns. I know I would want someone to help if someone in my family or friends was being beat and robbed. If ya think I want shoot they better not be in the wrong place at the right time! Someone will be pushing up daisys. Two things I hate,theives and child molesters,both need to be 6 feet under.
