The attack and robbery happened around 9 p.m. last Wednesday on Mary Street in the city's South of Market neighborhood, police said.
The victim was traveling on his motorized wheelchair when four suspects came up to him and commented about the wheelchair, police said. One of the suspects then hit the victim in the face while the others dragged him out of the wheelchair and threw him on the street.
