Rochester police says a suspect who held up a cashier at the Tops Market on West Avenue at gunpoint ran from the store, and tried to carjack a 76 year old woman to make his getaway.
The woman fought back, and people watching went to her aid. The suspect ran away and was caught by police a short distance from the store.
Ernest Douglas of Rochester, 41, was charged with robbery, assault and grand larceny. He’s scheduled to appear in City Court.
