This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by krispos42 (a host of the Gun Control & RKBA group).
SPRINGFIELD Police credit a 34-year-old woman, driving home from work early Thursday, with interrupting an armed robbery in the East Forest Park neighborhood, potentially saving the victim from injury or worse.
The incident unraveled as the 27-year-old victim, walking down Island Pond Road at about 2:30 a.m., crossed paths with the two suspects who were walking in the opposite direction, Delaney, aide to Commissioner William J. Fitchet, said.
The suspects jumped the victim, pulled his hooded sweatshirt over his head and began to beat him. One of the suspects then pulled a knife and stole the mans cell phone.
The good Samaritan, driving down Island Pond Road, saw the robbery, stopped her car, flashed her headlights on the altercation and continuously blared her horn.

And done with no comments to start the conversation?

So he's back to share his "Google Fu" skills with us.
