We asked Victor Isidoro, who does not speak English, whether he was scared. He said, a little. Then he described how the suspect held a gun during the incident. When Isidoro and a co-worker did not surrender money, the unidentified suspect made his way into the truck.
"He jump, whoom! Through the window, wheet. And then he start fighting," said Leo Lin, a person who helped translate Isidoro's story.

There was then what was described as a nearly ten-minute struggle inside the truck before someone from a neighboring business approached.

"When he see the other guy, he run. Boom!" Lin said.
Isidoro has a message for other would-be crooks...
"If somebody wants to rob, or somebody do something bad, you better start looking for a job," Lin said for Isidoro.
On Tuesday, Milwaukee police said they are now looking for a male suspect believed to be in his 20s and wearing a hooded sweatshirt. They are also reviewing surveillance video from a neighboring business -- to see if it could yield clues in this case.
If you have any information that could assist police in this case, you're asked to give them a call.
