Murphy, who runs the mile from his home to a bus stop at 2:30am every morning, said that an “older model, white SUV (was) traveling very slowly near me, and I felt suspicious, so I changed my route,” but that men got out of the car, threw him down, and choked him while they grabbed his wallet and left him there.
 
He got to the bus and was taken to the hospital, where he was treated for cuts and bruises.
 
He has identified one of three men arrested for a similar crime on the same day as his likely attacker and that suspect was also likely caught on video using his credit card to pay for petrol.
