A would-be-robber walked away empty handed from an attempted heist in New York City Friday afternoon.
According to the New York Post, the assailant tried to rob another man — from whom he had arranged to buy a pair of Air Jordans on Craigslist — at gunpoint.
After having a gun brandished in his face through his open car window, the potential victim sped away, taking the robber’s firearm AND arm with him.
“I was walking up the sidewalk and I heard a boom behind me,” an on-scene postal worker told the Post. “I just kept it moving. I saw somebody run on the bus with a missing arm.”
Police later pulled over the bus in question, at which point the one-armed man collapsed in the street.
His condition remains unknown.
