A 64-year-old managed to keep his wallet saved on Sunday after he fought off a robber armed with the knife in a South San Francisco shopping-center parking lot.
According to police, the suspect, an 18- to 20-year-old Hispanic man, approached the 64-year-old when he was walking to his car around 4:15 p.m. in the parking lot of the Winston Manor shopping center. The suspect was holding the knife at his side and also demanded the man give up his wallet.
The man resisted the robber both physically and verbally, police reported, and the foiled robber fled the scene in the unidentified vehicle.
The suspect is described as approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing around 155 pounds. He was wearing a red sweatshirt with the hood pulled over his head, sunglasses and black baggy jeans. He also had a diamond nose ring in his left nostril.
A witness who followed the suspect's green-colored Toyota or Honda told police an accomplice was driving the car.
