Around 7:30pm on Wednesday, off-duty patrol officers were driving along the 400 block of Market Street and saw a woman being dragged by a man. She was yelling for help and the officers confronted the man, 49-year-old James Mills of Harrisburg. He ran off, but the officers were able to catch him. They held him until on-duty officers arrived and took him into custody.
The victim, a 26-year-old woman from Philadelphia, told officers she was going to the train station to return home. Mills came up behind her and demanded money. She told him she didn't have any money. So Mills put something hard against her back, said he had a gun and would take her to an ATM where she would get him money.
When police searched Mills, he had no gun, just a pair of pliers. Mills is being charged with Robbery and Unlawful Restraint.
