LAKE WORTH, Fla. -- Parishioners at a Lake Worth church thwarted a robbery by rushing a gunman who burst in and demanded money during an early morning service.
Eighteen-year-old Ludesson Nestor allegedly tried to rob the Spanish-language service in English, according to Palm Beach County deputies.
Some attendees didn't understand what he was saying, but others fought back. Nestor was overtaken, disarmed and held down until deputies arrived.
No one was hurt in the incident.
Nestor was arrested on several charges of robbery and aggravated assault.
