WEST CHESTER, Ohio — West Chester police are trying to find a man they say committed a robbery while wearing a large "plague doctor mask."
It happened on September 22 around 6:45 p.m. behind the Dominos on Highland Pointe Drive, police said in a press release.
He allegedly assaulted a victim before demanding money.
According to police, he fled northbound on Cincinnati Dayton Road.
The suspect is described as a thin man in his late teens to early 20s with a long neck and blonde hair.
A "plague doctor mask" is essentially a large bird mask. At one point it was used as part of a medieval hazmat suit for doctors attempting to treat victims of the bubonic plague during Europe's "Black Death" era way back in the 1300s. Now, the mask is used as a popular Halloween and/or renaissance festival costume.
Investigators are asking anyone who may know the identity or whereabouts of this man to call the West Chester Police Department at 513-777-2231.
