Shortly after selling several shirts and hats to a customer, TikToker Derrick Morgan said he was robbed of his day's sale on Wednesday.

Morgan said his 'money bag' was snatched by one member of a group of females who had chased him inside the St William Grant Park.

"Mi just meet di woman a Devon House and she buy 12 shirts and nine hats; and mi come back a di park and say mi a go across the wholesale go buy little juice and snack fi go back a di guest house. Mi den say mi a go buy piece a melon and pine, and mi only see di woman dem a run towards mi a bawl out b****man and a bag a tings. Dem have dem phone and one have stone a aim mi up, so mi start run," he said.

Morgan said he ran towards the park but was cornered. He said the women did not physically assault him, but they kept hurling insults at him as they got closer. He said his bag fell and that was when one of them grabbed it and ran.

"Is over $40,000 mi have in the bag and say mi a go bank it, enuh, and di dutty gyal dem take it. Mi nah trouble dem. Mi spend up $24,000 to print di shirt dem, because mi did a get di sale and mi plan say mi a go Ochi today (Thursday) fi sell di rest, and dem take it. When dem take it, all mi coulda do was run up a Orange Street and start cry. People tell mi which part dem come from, and which part dem gamble," Morgan said.

Earlier in the day, he had posted a video of himself selling several of his shirts to another customer.

"A just bare careless people dem deh. Mi a try mi best to improve myself, because mi don't have no family and mi tired fi be on di street. And yet still dem come rob mi. A just certain people come with dem ghetto careless ting a run mi down. Mi deh Devon House where decent people deh, and mi don't go through none a dat," he said angrily.

Morgan showed THE WEEKEND STAR a copy of the police receipt after lodging a report at the Central Police Station. He said the bag was found in the park with his bank and national identification cards.

"A just $2,000 mi end up did have; and is one a mi friend carry it come give mi when mi deh a di station a make di report. It never even enough fi pay fi di guest house fi di night. When mi go dere, di lady have mercy on mi and say she will take what mi have. How yuh fi rob a homeless man weh just a try hustle?" he asked.
