COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Police said a fender bender led to an armed robbery when 12 people, including a 14-year-old, physically assaulted a man.
Police say the driver wanted cash for the damage to his car, Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell reports.
The man was attacked when he stepped in to protect the driver, LIVE on Channel 2 at 4:00 p.m.
Police say the suspect took matters into his own hands when someone hit his car.
