Charlottesville Police identified one suspect as 22-year-old Andre Maurice Jackson.
Jackson fled the scene after the robbery. Charlottesville Police, however, apprehended Jackson shortly thereafter at Page and Eighth Street.
The two victims sustained bruises, lacerations and abrasions. They declined treatment, Charlottesville Police Lt. Ronnie Roberts said.
