After robber pulls knife on a man on Magazine Street, victim pulls gun

A man facing armed robbers on Magazine Street pulled a gun and forced them to flee, New Orleans police say.

The men met around 7:45 p.m. Wednesday in the 3200 block of Magazine Street. Police say at least one of the suspects pulled a knife “during transaction of purchase.”

The victim then grabbed a gun and told them to leave, which they did.

The robbers were arrested, police say. The number of arrests and their identities of those arrested weren’t released.

It’s unclear the name of the business and what items were attempted to be stolen.
