WASHINGTON (WUSA9) – Two Metro employees are being hailed heroes after officials said they subdued an armed robbery suspect.

Just after 4 p.m. Saturday, 20-year-old Rondez Trayvon Tibbs approached a man at the Anacostia Station, flashed a gun and demanded money. After getting $40 from the victim, Tibbs then boarded a Green Line train.

Once on board the train, officials said he got into an altercation with passengers. Two Metro employees, who saw the altercation, restrained Tibbs, placed the loaded 25-caliber semi-automatic handgun out of his reach and radioed for police.
Spoiler:
"I could not be prouder of the courageous action taken by two of our colleagues yesterday afternoon," said Metro Interim General Manager Jack Requa. "Faced with an armed suspect, they selflessly sprung into action and may well have saved others from harm."

Metro Transit Police officers placed the suspect under arrest at Gallery Place and recovered the gun. The weapon was fully loaded with one bullet in the chamber.

Tibbs is being charged with armed robbery and carrying a pistol without a license.

The employees, one man and one woman, have not been identified.
