Chattanooga: Police seek armed robbery suspect

Chattanooga police are looking for a man that witnesses say held a knife to the throat of a woman as he robbed her early this morning.

Brittany Hughes, 22, said she was in the parking lot of the Chattanooga Food and Drink night club at 12:38 a.m. when a black male between 25 and 35 years old, between 5 foot 3 and 5 foot 5 asked her for a cigarette, according to a police release.

She told police that the suspect pulled a knife, held it to her throat and demanded money.

Ms. Hughes’ sister, who was not named in the release, witnessed the act and ran to get help.

Security at the club, located at 5647 Brainerd Road, tried to stop the man, but he drove away.
