Two men were arrested Sunday afternoon after they attempted to rob a man on the bike path near Soledad Canyon Road and Sierra Highway in Canyon Country.
Abel Rodriguez, 23, and Eddie Nolasco-Gonzales, 24, stopped the victim near a recycling center by the intersection and one of them pulled a handgun, firing a shot into the air.
The victim fled and the suspects attempted to get away, but were caught shortly after the incident near Sandy Drive and the wash.
The two were booked at the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s station on suspicion of felony attempted armed robbery and are each being held in lieu of $50,000 bail.
