ATLANTA — Police have tracked down and arrested a man accused of cutting a woman's throat in Midtown last month.
Anthony Greene, 44, of Lithonia, was arrested in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina last Thursday and brought to Atlanta Tuesday.
Police said he used a large knife to cut a woman’s throat during a robbery just before 2 p.m. March 26 in a parking lot on Juniper Street.
"This robbery is not a normal occurrence in Midtown. It's not an occurrence in the city of Atlanta," said Atlanta Police Maj. Scott Kreher. "Midtown is a very safe place to be."
The victim suffered a 6-inch cut on her throat that required 17 stitches.

A witness chased Greene, who also tried to cut the witness with the knife, police said.
Police used a sketch that was produced from the victim’s description of the attacker to identify Greene.
They said Greene was homeless at the time of the attack.
He is being held with no bond and faces aggravated battery, aggravated assault and robbery charges.
He will appear in court later this month.
