Today around 9am a male suspect, who was described by cashier Jarnain Singh as around 25 years old, attempted to rob Lucky’s Deli & Market at 445 E. Fort Ave. in Riverside. According to Singh, the suspect presented a note at the cash register, showed a knife, and grabbed him by the shirt.
Singh told SouthBMore.com the suspect then jumped over the cash register and started grabbing packs of cigarettes. He said he was then in a struggle with the suspect when a customer arrived and helped Singh tackle the suspect to the ground. The knife was dropped on the ground at some point during the incident. Two other neighbors saw what was going on and came to help hold the suspect down on the ground outside the store until police officers arrived. The suspect was arrested by Baltimore Police.
Baltimore Police confirmed with SouthBMore.com the disarming of the robbery suspect this morning, but is still processing its report.
Singh said he kept a cool head during the entire incident and was very appreciative of the help he received. “I’m a little scared, but thankful there are such nice people around here,” he told SouthBMore.com. Singh spoke to SouthBMore.com at length about how much he loves his customers and the neighborhood.
Singh said he received a few scratches and was bit on the hand, but that he is fine.
