18-year-old reports attack at bus hub

A man reported being raped and robbed at gunpoint Thursday evening by two attackers at Little Rock’s downtown bus station.

The 18-year-old said he was using the restroom at 310 E. Capitol Ave., the listed address for River Cities Travel Center, about 6 p.m. when the two people walked in and locked the door.

One of them pointed what looked like a handgun at him, and the pair then tackled him to the floor and forced him to perform a sex act on them, according to the report.

The attackers took his cellphone and a $50 debit card and threatened to kill him if he told anyone what happened, the man told authorities.

Police are still investigating.

Becca Green, a spokesman for Rock Region Metro, the agency that operates the bus station, said the center is usually busy around that time, but a review of the security footage did not show three men in the bathroom together. Green added that the main area of the bathroom does not have a door.
