(BLOOMINGTON) - A 47-year-old woman thwarted a robbery attempt by punching a man in the face Friday afternoon on a gravel road near the B-Line Trail.
Bloomington police were called to a report of an attempted robbery near the 200 block of West Grimes Lane, just east of the B-Line Trail, at 2:30 p.m. Friday.
The woman told police two men approached her asking for cigarettes.
One man tried to take her backpack and that is when the woman punched the man in the face and then ran away.
