New York Man Charged With Attempted Robbery In Salem

SALEM, NH — A good Samaritan appeared to have assisted in thwarting an attempted robbery at the Mall at Rockingham Park Tuesday, according to Salem police. At just after 7 p.m., officers were sent to the mall for a report of a strong-armed robbery. Dispatchers, according to Deputy Chief Joel Dolan, heard an individual shouting, "Stop!" and then, lost the call.

The caller was reached again and stated they believed they had interrupted a robbery in progress.

When police arrived, they spoke with the victim who claimed that two men attempted to steal a bag of iPhones from him after "grabbing him and throwing him to the ground while he was walking to his car," according to a report. The man was treated for minor injuries at the scene.

Brayan Feliz, 21, of the Bronx, New York, another man at the scene, was charged with robbery. He was released on $1,000 cash bail and is due in Rockingham County Superior Court on Nov. 25.

Police are searching for a second suspect. He is described as black, about 5-feet, 10-inches tall, believed to be in his late teens or early 20s, with dreadlocks in two buns. The second suspect was wearing all black at the time, according to the report.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Salem police at 603-893-1911.
