A suspect in an armed robbery attempt was foiled by the lack of anything to steal in Ypsilanti Monday.
Ypsilanti police said the victim was stopped in a vehicle for a traffic light near the 800 block of North Congress Street around 12:30 p.m. when a man approached the vehicle, produced a handgun and demanded money.
The man fled on foot when the victim showed him an empty wallet, police said.
