Would-be mugger ends up $30 in the red

10/10/2008 1:17:00 PM.  | AP

Police said a strong-arm robber got locked in a chokehold by his intended victim and ended up $30 in the hole.

Police in the Detroit suburb of Warren said the robber approached a 36-year-old man and demanded money on Tuesday night.

When the robber tried to flee with $50, police said he was tackled by his victim. The Macomb Daily of Mount Clemens and The Detroit News reported the man got the robber in a chokehold and demanded his cash back.

Detective Lt. Michael Torey said the victim got his money back and that the robber was so scared he gave the man $80.

The intended victim injured his wrist during the scuffle.

Police were looking for the robber, who fled on foot.
