A Westland man, who asked not to be identified in the newspaper, told police he was near the gas pumps when he saw the robbery unfolding. He said the gunman was yelling at the woman to give him the money and kicking and hitting the car door.
When the door was opened, the Westland man said the gunman grabbed the money from the woman and then cocked the gun. At that point, the Westland man said he yelled “Back away from the girl” and drew his handgun, which he is licensed to carry concealed.
“The suspect was able to get away with the bag of money. He had a handgun at the head of the victim when the witness intervened,” said Sgt. David Zucchetto. “If the witness hadn't intervened, that woman could have been killed or injured. The suspect might have taken her and her vehicle.”
