A woman was walking near Broadway and Carroll Streets when suddenly a man snatched her chain and ran off with it, the brave woman would not have it, so she began to chase down the thief, but then, the thief pulled out a gun and threatened the woman, and she was forced to back off.
The woman, 45-year-old, said the robber was in his 20s. This incident unfolded in broad daylight, little after 3pm, demonstrating the brazen nature of certain thieves and criminals in Paterson.
After being threatened with a handgun the 35-year-old gave up on her plan, and dialed the police.
