ATLANTA -- A 28-year-old man was arrested Friday morning after leading police on a foot chase.

Atlanta Police say Eric Romone Lewis and another man are the suspects in a pedestrian robbery at the Kroger shopping center on Metropolitan Parkway.

Officers spotted Lewis and the other men, who was not identified, running from the scene at around 12:35 a.m., according to Atlanta Police spokeswoman Officer Kim Jones.

An Atlanta Police officer began running after the two suspects; when they split up, the officer continued following Lewis.

Lewis was found hiding in a breezeway of a building at the Pavilion Place apartments on Cleveland Avenue. He was arrested and taken to the Fulton County Jail.

The other suspect got away and has not been identified.
