A would-be robber armed with a gun who targeted a Michigan dialysis patient earlier this week was forced to retreat after his intended victim pulled out a gun of his own.

Shortly before 5 a.m. Monday, a 49-year-old Waterford man pulled up to DaVita Dialysis where he was to receive early morning dialysis treatment, My Fox Detroit reported.

As the patient exited his vehicle, a man approached from a wooded area and demanded his wallet. When the patient refused, the suspect pulled a gun from his hoodie and demanded the wallet again.

Rather than cough it up, the patient told police he pulled out his own gun and pointed it at the suspect.

“Do you really want to do this?” he asked.

The suspect apparently determined that he did not want to do that.

“Have a nice day,” he shouted as the man fled the scene.

The self-defending dialysis patient then went into the clinic for treatment and called police.
