Greece Police: Bystander Stopped Robbery Attempt

A bystander is credited with stopping a robbery attempt in Greece early Sunday.

Police say officers were called to West Ridge Road just after 1 a.m., where they found 45-year-old Brian Wheeler being held on the ground.

Investigators say Wheeler approached a woman sitting in her car, forced his way inside, and tried to take her belongings while armed with a sharp object, leaving the victim with minor injuries.

A witness intervened, helping the woman get out and restraining the suspect until police arrived.

Wheeler is now charged with attempted first-degree robbery and second-degree assault and is being held at the Monroe County Jail.
