Around 11pm Wednesday, RCIPS officers said a married couple was returning home on Palm Dale Avenue in George Town. As they walked onto the porch of their home, a man appeared from their yard and asked for money, police said.
The victims said the man was wearing a Halloween mask and appeared to be holding a hand gun.
Police said the would-be robber went to search a bag when the husband struck the suspect in the head with a cup. At this point, the robber apparently decided to give up and run away, police said.
Nothing was taken and the both the husband and wife were uninjured.
The suspect was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, black denim pants, black gloves and the mask. No arrests were immediately reported.
