Police responded to a Saturday night call from the victim at Eight Mile and Woodward Avenue, according to Ferndale Police Detective Lt. William Wilson. The victim described the two assailants to the officers, Wilson said.

Wilson said the victim was waiting for a bus near Eight Mile and Fair when he was approached by two males. "The 19-year-old pulled a pistol and demanded the victim's money," Wilson said. The other male arrested was 16 years old.

Wilson said the victim first began to fight for the gun, but then gave up the struggle and handed over his money to the robber.
