That’s according to documents filed Monday in Olmsted County Court. The case stems from an incident reported to the Rochester Police Department on April 5.

The criminal complaint says a man was walking home from work on the morning of April 4 when a subject, later identified as 30-year-old Kahlid Mohamed of Rochester, approached him near the intersection of 18 ½ Ave. and 22nd St. Northwest. The victim alleged Mohamed told him he could not pass and demanded the man hand over his wallet as he showed the victim a knife.

The victim told police he said no and stared at Mohamed, who then slowly retreated from the area. The complaint says police recognized the suspect as Mohamed based on the victim’s description.

Court documents say the victim confirmed Mohamed as the suspect when investigators showed him a photo of Mohamed. Police then arrested Mohamed on Saturday without further incident.
