Yet another pizza deliveryman was robbed at gunpoint Sunday.

Here’s what happened, in that and other incidents, according to mayoral spokeswoman Jessica Mayorga:

An employee of A-1 Pizza showed up at 110 Eastern St. at 2:50 a.m. He encountered three men wearing dark coats. One pulled out handgun and demanded money. The pizza man surrendered between $25 and $30 in cash. he also suffered minor facial injuries after one of the muggers hit him.

At 7:45 a.m. Sunday, a 50-year-old man was discovered dead in a wheelchair at a Church and Chapel bus stop downtown. Police are investigating the cause of death but don’t suspect foul play.

Police responded to a call on Davenport Avenue at 2:12 a.m. Sunday. They found a man who’d been stabbed in the head and hand. The man was able to walk into the ambulance; he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at the Hospital of St. Raphael. Police have a “strong” suspect.

Two violent robberies on the east side of town Friday evening: Three masked men with guns walked into Discount Liquors on Forbes Avenue just before 8 p.m. One pistol-whipped the employee and stole money from the register. The pistol-whipper fled in a car, the other two on foot. Around a half-our later four teens dressed in black punched a man in the face as he was walking at Clay and Poplar. They stole $30, then ran away.

Also Friday, cops arrested a 16 year-old on Townsend Street and charged him with unlawful discharge of a firearm, carrying a pistol without a permit, and reckless endangerment in the first degree. The cops had responded to a call of gunshots in the neighborhood and were helped by a homeowner.
