Man pulls gun, prevents West Side robbery

SAN ANTONIO — A would-be robber was foiled Monday night after a man pulled a gun on him on the West Side.

San Antonio police were called out to a robbery in progress at a Subway in the 4600 block of West Commerce Street around 11 p.m.

When they arrived, witnesses reported that a man had entered the restaurant and approached an employee demanding money.

Police said the man threatened to shoot if they refused.

While the man never displayed a weapon, someone else did, police said.

A woman who was ordering a sandwich inside the restaurant had her husband, a concealed handgun carrier, outside waiting for her.

When he saw what was going on, he went inside, drew his weapon and held the suspect at gunpoint, police said.

The suspect took off without any money, according to authorities.

Police are still searching for the suspect.
