Two men were arrested late Friday night after a motorcyclist was robbed at knifepoint in the parking lot of a hotel in Dauphin County.
It happened just before midnight at the Holiday Inn located along the 600 block of Station Road in East Hanover Township. The victim, a 19-year-old Harrisburg man, told police he had just pulled into the parking lot on his motorcycle when he was approached by two men, identified as Joshua Dale Walker, 25, of Jonestown and Dustin Leigh Miller, 27, of Pine Grove.
The trio began talking about motorcycles when all of a sudden Walker pulled out a knife and held it to the victim’s throat, state police said.
Walker demanded the keys to the victim’s motorcycle.
