Police released surveillance video from an armed robbery that happened last week in front of a Mt. Airy resident's home.

According to the police report, on Wednesday, Jan. 7, at approximately 4:20 p.m., a 53-year-old woman was walking to her house located on the 100 block of West Cliveden Street when a man approached her armed with a handgun.

In the video, the suspect slips and falls on the snow allowing the woman time to close the door and get safely inside.

The suspect is described as a 6'0” black male with a medium build. He was last seen wearing a dark tan and black hooded sweatshirt, black hat with a brim, dark colored pants and tan boots. The suspect is armed with a handgun.
