EASTON, Pa - A Pennsylvania man is facing multiple charges after he attacked and robbed another man in downtown Easton.

Stonewall allegedly left the unconscious man in the street, where he was later discovered by a passerby.

According to police, a witness identified Stonewall as the attacker and he has been charged with robbery, aggravated assault, simple assault recklessly endangering another person, harassment and theft.
