Two men in Florida stepped in to stop an armed robber who tried to hold up a store

CORAL GABLES, FL (KTRK) -- Two men took down an armed robbery suspect in Coral Gables, Florida, Saturday.

The store clerk and a customer decided not to be victims when they say the man tried to hold them up. They say he pulled a gun and demanded money from the register.

In a split second, the two men managed to get the upper hand as fists started flying. They wrestled the man seen in the black shirt to the ground and held him until police arrived.

The robbery suspect, 47-year-old Javon Marice Reddick, is in custody and facing several charges, including armed robbery and possession of a weapon while committing an offense, WFOR reports.
