An attempted robbery on the famous Melrose Ave. in Los Angeles was captured on video which appears to show two suspects getting out of a car and one of them pulling out a gun.<\/p>\n

In the video, one male and two female victims are seen in a parking lot when the two suspects approached them. Acting quickly, the male victim produces a handgun of his own firing several shots causing the suspects to hightail it out of there.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Police arrested and identified the two suspects as Nicholas Brown and Markeil Hayes, both of Los Angeles, and said they were both booked on attempted robbery and are currently on parole.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Words were apparently exchanged, and the victim ultimately produces a handgun, apparently to defend himself and others in his group from the would-be robbery suspects. The victim fired his weapon towards the suspects and then all parties immediately fled the location,” the Los Angeles Police Department recounted in a press release Tuesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brown sustained a gunshot to the upper left thigh while Hayes was shot in the right calf. Police are still searching for the third suspect and asking the public for help tracking him down.<\/strong><\/p>\n
