Police said the suspect pointed the gun at the woman and demanded her to give him the money. The woman screamed so loud, it startled the suspect, who then turned around and ran across the street.
The would-be-robber reportedly jumped into the passenger seat of an older model Chevrolet Impala and sped off from the area.
