The incident took place around 6:35 a.m., Thursday, Feb. 4, when Greenburgh Police officers responded to the BP Gas Station located at 190 Aqueduct Road for a report of a robbery in progress, said Lieutenant Kobie Powell.
Upon their arrival the officers found a man being restrained on the ground by another man. The investigation revealed that the man, identified as Jaryneah Wilson, 41, address unknown, entered the victim’s car and attempted to drive away, Powell said.

Wilson was charged with attempted robbery and criminal possession of a weapon. He was transported to the Westchester County Jail.
