Blotters: Armed robbery victim threatened with machete

Upon police arrival, a 23-year-old Riverhead resident said that while walking northbound on Doctors Path near the PSE&G building, he noticed a vehicle parked on the side of the road with two men sitting inside it. 

The men in the car then got out of the vehicle and approached the victim from behind, police said. One of them grabbed the victim and a scuffle ensued, police said.
