Pittsburgh police: Customer confronted armed robber
Pittsburgh police are investigating an armed robbery at a business in the city’s Allentown neighborhood in which the armed suspect was confronted by a customer.
Public Safety spokeswoman Cara Cruz said officers were dispatched shortly after 2:30 p.m. Friday to Beer Bros. along the 800 block of East Warrington Avenue.
Witnesses told police a young man came into the store, brandished a gun and demanded money, Cruz said.
The suspect reportedly tussled briefly with a witness who was in line.
No injuries were reported.
Cruz said the robber fled on foot behind a neighboring business toward Beltzoover with an undisclosed amount of cash.
A description of the suspect was not released.
