NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) -

Metro police are looking for a man who attacked another person selling an iPad.

Police said the anonymous man contacted the seller through the social network Mocospace.

The two agreed on a purchase and met in a parking lot at 780 Old Hickory Boulevard.

Police said the prospective buyer later sprayed the victim in the eyes with pepper spray after making a $400 offer for the device.

Investigators said the attacker grabbed the iPad and drove off in either a gray or silver two door Pontiac with a sunroof.

He's described as a black man in his 20s who is about 5'9" and around 160 pounds.  At the time of the robbery, he had a full beard.

Call 74-CRIME if you can help in the case.
