Atlanta police are looking for armed robbers who held up a man and his fiance in Midtown, according to Channel 2 Action News.
The Hall County couple, who asked not to be identified, told Channel 2 the robbers even chased them in their own car.
They park on Peachtree Circle once a month when organizing events in Midtown Atlanta.
Thieves almost took a man away from his 2-year-old son, one of the victims lamented.
“I just kept telling them please don’t shoot us,” he said. “We got a kid.”
Two gunmen ambushed the couple shortly before midnight, took his Pittsburgh Steelers Nissan Sentra and headed toward Peachtree Street.
“They pulled out and turned around and started coming toward us, and I told her please run as fast as you can or I’m going to get shot,” he said.
As the couple ran toward an Exxon gas station, they said the robbers rolled down the window and pulled the trigger.
All the victims heard were three clicks before the robbers drove away.
Neighbors suspect robbers are coming to the Ansley Park neighborhood for a reason.
“I guess this must be a targeted area for some reason I guess,” one neighbor told Channel 2. “They think there’s money out here.”
The victim hopes his car turns up and says he will have to find a new place to park.
The suspects wore bandanas on their faces and also made off with an expensive camera, a purse, wallets and a phone.
