A Rome man has been arrested in connection with a robbery that happened last month in West Utica.

32-year old Ernest Hobdy is charged with robbery.

Utica Police say a man was approached by three men on the 400 block of Columbia Street on June 17th.

They say one of the men hit the victim in the head with a handgun and once the victim fell to the ground, all three men started kicking and punching him.  Hobdy allegedly stole the victim's sneakers and cellphone.
