In a city with a history of ups and downs, Detroit witnessed another crime on a Thursday afternoon last week. This time, it was a daylight robbery where a man with a knife attacked a business.

        Everyone knows that street crime happens, but what would make you feel safe in your place of work?  The victim, a 55-year-old woman, was just going about her job when the unknown suspect walked in.

    The suspect, wearing a brown leather jacket with fur on the wrists, hood, and collar, along with dark pants and black boots, seems to have a very particular fashion choice.

        The suspect then approached the victim and demanded her belongings. With a  knife in hand, he scared the victim into handing over her valuables.

        What a scary way to spend a day at work.

    The man grabbed her belongings and ran away on foot, leaving the victim with minor injuries that required treatment on the spot.

    Could he have been caught by now? The police have been searching for a man about 5 feet 6 inches tall who struck at 12:40 p. m. that Thursday.

    The police are looking for anyone with information about this incident.  Rewards are being offered in exchange for any helpful information.
