An "active user" of a homosexual phone-hookup line made a bad connection when he invited a caller to his Wallingford condominium and was beaten while performing oral sex on a new acquaintance, according to Nether Providence Township Police.
After the beating, the suspect forced the victim to drive to several ATMs until he was able to withdraw $200.
The victim, who is described by police as a 50-year-old white male, left 15 messages over a two-week period on various mailboxes at a Philadelphia-based phone-dating service.
In the messages, he detailed his desire for a homosexual encounter, police said.
Because of the sheer number of calls made by the victim, Detective Sgt. Michael Irey said, it was difficult to tell which person returned the victim's call on June 2, identifying himself as "Mike" from West Philadelphia.
"Mike," described as a medium-complected African-American male in his 20s, about 5 feet 11 and 175 to 185 pounds, met the victim at the Swarthmore train station later that evening.
From there, the two went to the victim's condo in Wallingford.
"The suspect sits down and the victim provides him with oral sex, but it wasn't completed before everything stopped when the suspect hit him," Irey said. "The victim goes down to the ground and looks up and this guy has a hammer."
Afterward, the victim was forced to drive to two ATMs and the assailant was able to remove $200 from the victim's account at a PNC Bank branch in Swarthmore, Irey said.
The assailant fled on foot, toward the same train station where the victim had picked him up earlier that night.
As a result of his injuries, the victim's jaw was wired shut and will be fitted with a titanium plate today, Irey said.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Nether Providence Township Police at 610-892-2875.
