Police Chief Joe Treviño said someone approached a female employee at BOBWE’s, 1308 S. St. Mary’s St., at 10:26 p.m. as she was getting into her vehicle.
The man, described as Hispanic, between the ages of 30 and 40 and wearing a Dallas Cowboys cap and a dark-colored, plaid sweater, ran up to the woman, grabbed the money bag in her hand and tried to run away with it.
The woman resisted, though, and managed to wrestle the bag out of his hands.
At that point, the man ran from the scene, going east in the 100 block of East Rachel Street.
Treviño said someone driving by in a red pickup truck noticed the attack and stopped. The driver sounded his horn in an apparently attempt to stop the assailant, but he eventually drove from the scene.
“We’d like to talk to the driver of the red truck,” Treviño said. Maybe that person has some information that could help police locate the attacker.
