Suspect Sought

GLENDALE

Glendale police asked the public’s help today in finding a would-be
bandit who accidentally fired at a 51-year-old man while they were
struggling over the gun. The intended victim had just gotten home
from shopping about 9 p.m. on April 14, in the 900 block of Patterson
Avenue, when a gunman walked up and demanded the resident’s wallet,
Glendale police Officer Leticia Chang said. A struggle ensued, and
the intended victim managed to get the gun from the would-be robber,
who ran to a dark-colored car and fled with two other people, Chang
said. The suspect was described as a skinny Armenian, about 5 feet 8
inches tall, with black short hair, a white baggy jersey type shirt
with a logo on the front, white shorts and white tennis shoes. Anyone
with more information about the robbery attempt is asked to call
Glendale detectives at (818) 548-3987 or the department’s main
number, (818) 548-4840. Anonymous calls can be made to (818)
506-STOP.
