According to police, the culprit grabbed the 55-year-old woman by the neck and pulled out a box cutter, demanding her purse.

When she honks her horn for help, a man runs over to the passenger window and calls over a friend.

That bystander then approaches the robber from behind and gets him away from the car.

The robber eventually took off on foot. Police say he remains on the run.
