SOMERVILLE - Two men with knives who tried to rob a man at a bus stop on Broadway were nabbed by police minutes later on Jan. 2, according to a police report.

Responding to the corner or Broadway and Langmaid Avenue for reports of a robbery with a knife, police officers were notified that the victim saw the suspects entering the Winter Hill Liquor Mart at 10:18 p.m. They were described as men, one wearing a leather jacket with a red stripe and eating a chicken leg with barbecue sauce.
The victim told Patrolman Lisa Shah that he was at a bus stop when the suspects approached him and asked for 50 cents or a cigarette. When he said he no, one of them allegedly pulled out a knife. The victim then gave him a cigarette and saw them run into the liquor store.

Looking inside the store, Patrolman Sean Sylvester saw two men at the counter. One was reportedly wearing a leather jacket with a stripe and chewing on a bone with some sauce on it.
Both men looked at the officer as he entered and immediately tried to leave the store.
Other detectives responded. The two suspects were stopped and identified as Roni Serra, 29, of 58 Broadway, and Vinicius Ramos Soares, 20, of 358 Broadway.

During a search, two large kitchen knives were reportedly found on them and confiscated, along with the chicken bone.
After the victim positively identified them, the two were arrested and charged with armed robbery and possession of a dangerous weapon, according to the police report.
