Employees from Taste of India on Fourth Street were able to fight off a drunk man who attempted to rob the restaurant with a knife, according to police.
The drunk man, later identified as 43-year-old William Dunn, walked into Taste of India around 10:30 p.m. Saturday and demanded money and keys to a vehicle.
Employees said no to his demands, according to police, and that's when Dunn pulled out a knife. Employees began throwing the chairs from the restaurant at Dunn and ran to the back of the restaurant. Dunn fled the restaurant on foot. He was located by police just 15 minutes later near Second and Rogers Streets.
He was then taken to Monroe County Correctional Center and charged with robbery.
