Pasadena police officers are on the lookout for two men who attempted to rob a resident in the 1000 block of North Michigan Avenue Thursday afternoon, but ran when the resident fought them off with a lamp.

As they escaped, the suspects’ vehicle hit another vehicle in a nearby intersection. Luckily, the woman who was driving the other car was not injured.

Pasadena Police Lt. John Luna said the victim was standing in his driveway when a vehicle stopped in the middle of the street. Two men jumped out and approached him.

“One of the suspects brandished a knife and demanded the victim empty his pocket, waving the knife in a threatening manner,” Luna said. “The victim picked up a lamp in his driveway and attempted to defend himself. The suspect punched the victim in the face during the altercation, but the victim continued to defend himself with the lamp. At some point, the suspects retreated into their vehicle and fled southbound on Michigan Avenue.”

Luna said the suspects’ vehicle collided with another vehicle at the intersection of Mountain Street and Michigan, and the suspects fled the scene on foot. Officers arrived on scene seconds later.

“The first victim declined medical treatment and the lady driver reported no injuries from the collision,” Luna said.

Luna described the suspect who brandished a knife as a male Hispanic in his 20s, wearing dark clothing. The other suspect was in his 50s and wore a dark colored shirt and blue jeans, Luna said.

The suspects remain at large and are now the subject of a search.

Anyone with information about the incident and the suspects are advised to call the Pasadena Police Department at (626) 744-4501.
