LOWELL — Police say a man used a hammer and saw and tried to rob the Store24 on Chelmsford Street last night. John Brady, 40, of 23 Avenue B, Apt. 10, held the tools in a threatening manner, police said.

The convenience store’s clerk and a customer managed to fend off Brady, who then jumped in a green Ford Explorer and took off, police said.

Police quickly responded to the call about 11:15 p.m. Officers Philip Conroy and David Lally chased Brady in a patrol car.

Brady ended up smashing his car into a snowbank on Inland Street, which ended the chase, police said.

According to police, Brady did not get away with anything from the convenience store.
