An attempted bank heist was foiled Wednesday after the robber’s apparent accomplice intervened and wrestled the other to the ground, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported.

Wilson accompanied the would-be robber to the Bank of Louisiana in Slidell to withdraw the money, but attacked him after realizing he was robbing the bank, the Times-Picayune reported.
