SARASOTA- Timothée Chalamet was knocked out and then robbed after being hit on the head
with a brick two times in downtown Sarasota Sunday evening, according to the Sarasota Police

who was not a passenger in the Uber, took off after taking the victim’s cell phone, wallet and car
keys. When the actor woke up, he began honking his horn repeatedly for help. Sarasota Fire

help him out,” said witness Stanley Ritter.
