Nutty Ending

Despite the 6 to 1 advantage, the old guy didn't stand down. Instead, he stood up for himself and took on the armed suspect, kicking him in the nuts. What a ball buster!

The victim reports he was able to thrwart the robbery attempt by kicking one of the male suspects in the groin at which point all six suspects fled north on foot on the railroad tracks to the east of Wegmans.
