STOCKTON — An ice cream vendor being robbed at gunpoint Sunday afternoon foiled his teenage attackers with a weapon of his own — a machete. According to the Stockton Police Department, the unidentified man was pushing an ice cream cart at 2:20 p.m. at Ponce De Leon Avenue and Antonio Way when the two teens approached. One lifted his shirt and displayed a black handgun, while the other demanded cash. The vendor responded by pulling out a machete, police said. The suspects ran away, although one, a 15-year-old boy, was later identified and arrested on robbery charges. The other suspect, described as a black male between 14 and 17, 5 feet 7 inches and 135 to 145 pounds, with short hair, an “LSW” red shirt and black shorts, remains at large.
