The Christiana Police are seeking a gunman who fled in terror when he was rebuked by a tongues-speaking would-be victim, whom he attempted to rob on Saturday night.

According to reports about 9 p.m., a news correspondent for central Jamaica was on his way home on Blackwood Close when a man armed with a .38 revolver pointed the gun at him and demanded he hand over his money and cellphone.

"He passed me and then turn back and approach me in a crouching position, pointing the gun at me. I rebuked him in the name of Jesus and started speaking in tongues when he ran away," said Davis.

Customers at a nearby Petcom service station, including a licensed firearm holder and the police, searched the area but the gunman had already bolted.
