TITUSVILLE, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - For the second time in as many days, an armed bank customer foiled a robbery in Brevard County.
Just after 4 p.m. on Friday, a man with a knife approached a teller at the Riverside Bank , 201 Cheney Hwy, with a note demanding money. After the teller complied, the man left the bank on foot and headed down a trail in a heavily wooded area behind the bank.
A bank customer, who had witnessed the robbery and was armed with a concealed handgun, chased the suspect onto the trail in the woods and confronted him. A brief struggle ensued and the bank customer was able to keep the suspect on the ground until Titusville Police officers arrived.
The undisclosed amount of cash taken in the robbery and a knife was recovered from the suspect, who was taken to a local hospital for observation.
The bank customer, who was properly licensed in the State of Florida to carry a concealed firearm, was interviewed and released at the scene. No bank employees were hurt.
